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.

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.

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

At the end of the day, you have to make sure you're at least listening to what your head is telling you, what your heart is telling you. That's hard to do when there are a million other people shouting as loud as they can.

Image
Some people say I make mistakes. I just say that this is the secret of enjoying life. I hate monotony. Why don't they leave me freedom of choice? People want to impose choices which aren't necessarily mine. That's the mistake people make.

I had crashes when I was small and Gumby-like that would have killed me now. I would just fly off jumps and go 40 or 50 meters when I was 6 years old - break skis, smash my goggles and get a bloody nose and go crawl inside for a little while and then come back out and ski more in the afternoon.

I went through a period at boarding school when my coaches wanted me to switch to snowboarding because they thought I was no good at skiing. I was too skinny. I had terrible technique. They were saying I should be a snowboarder, and luckily, I resisted.

When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast.

Image
It is not that I don't recognize the danger in ski racing, but that I don't fear the consequences.

Image
People in the U.S. will watch anything if it's put in front of their face over and over again. I like to see what's possible, more than anything.

You feel the Olympics and you get chills and nervous and a little scared. You go through the emotional roller coaster at what it's like to compete at the Olympic level and you let that run through your whole body.

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

I like to keep my private life private for the most part.

My grandfather was very into horse racing, and I found some of his old journals and got into it from there. It has a lot of parallels to skiing. It's a fun lifestyle, being around the racetrack.

When I was little, I spent a lot of time by myself. When other kids were in school, I was skiing and thinking about things. I was alone on the mountain.

I don't care what other people's judgments come down to-I care what my judgments come down to.
