There's so many guys skiing so fast right now that you really have to be willing to take a lot of risks if you want to give yourself a chance to win. I'm prepared to do it it's just a matter of if I can make it work.

Some of them I probably would like. Some of my fans probably beat their wives or run over little kids and they just happen to watch me on TV and like the way I ski. Obviously I clearly wouldn't like that person if I knew 'em better.

Despite all the pressure and the caliber of accomplishment, I still can honestly say that it's not all about winning.

In some ways, that's the story of my season - when I wasn't making big mistakes, I was winning races and being on the podium. And when I made mistakes I was still fourth or fifth, just off the podium.

We should tell our kids to just have fun, participate and not get bent on winning or losing. But every coach, when they say that, they say it tongue in cheek, 'Don't worry about winning': If you win I'll get you ice cream, but if you lose I'm going to pout in the car.

One of the really important things about the Olympics is, to enjoy yourself, you have to accept that it's different and feed off the enthusiasm of everyone and the inspiration and hopefully that will elevate your performance.

It does matter that it's the Olympics. I just did it my way. I'm not a martyr, and I'm not a do-gooder. I just want to go out and rock. And man, I rocked here.

The best way to protect your own freedom is to watch everybody else's back. That's the essence of community.

If I could wish one thing for anyone, it would be to not have to do anything his entire life-just go along and when you feel like doing something, do it.

Sometimes I'm disciplined, but I like to be a total slacker, too. I party hard, but I train hard.

It's important for me to live my life honestly.

My goal is the same as every year - to not hurt myself.

The way I judge myself is not on how many World Cups I can win in a row.

It's nice, being brought up with no money at all. It's just not how I measure success, so that makes it a bunch easier.
