“When I get on the World Cup tour, I'm kind of disconnected from the world. I just kind of get wrapped up in my world and wrapped up in trying to ski fast every day, and I forget about everything else.”
“Even growing up, I was always the helper-outer, the sous-chef to my parents.”
“In the end, it's a mental maturity to let your best come out.”
“I find folding laundry very relaxing.”
“There are times when one certain snow condition is great for one particular brand of skis.”
“It's amazing. Life changes very quickly, in a very positive way, if you let it.”
“I don't know if I'll ever get used to the idea that strangers know who I am. I don't know if I want to.”
“You are only limited to what you push yourself to, you know? You can always get better.”
“I wish it didn't take soooooo much to get physically to where I need to be.”
“Making ski racing fun and engaging for kids and families is an exciting opportunity and a real passion of mine.”
“I love the cowbell. I think it's awesome. My family got the cowbell app on their iPhones. It's a classic part of ski racing.”
“I always ate healthy, but it wasn't scientific. Now it's a high-protein diet and no carbohydrates. I have more consistent energy, and I don't get tired after a meal. It does take a very detailed meal plan.”
“I'd like to keep my personal life private. In reality, I know that's not possible. In the present, I'm trying to pretend it's possible.”
“Everyone knows marriage is tough.”
“It's so important for kids to get involved with sports in general at a young age.”
“There is a dessert dish in Austria called Kaiserschmarrn - it's kind of like a sweet raisin pancake with eggs and sugar. It's definitely not something I can eat often, but if I've done well at a race, sometimes that's my celebration treat!”
“It seems kind of silly, but it's really nice to chill in the kitchen with a friend and bake. It relaxes me, and mixing is probably my favorite part.”
“I enjoy just showing people other sides of me, especially everyone always sees me in my helmet and ski suit. It's nice to just show everyone me, just me in my everyday clothes or just me in high heels or just me not in my ski gear, basically.”
“I'm never tired of winning, and I'm never tired of skiing.”
“I won't lie - I picked up the occasional gossip magazine in the past because I thought that maybe 5 to 10 percent of it was true. Now I think it's zero percent.”
