I can't picture myself being the people I always looked up to.
Divorce doesn't fit my cookie-cutter image.
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.
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!
Especially when I'm in the gym, I get really motivated by hip-hop.
I have a little Nintendo DS, and I play these brain games that are supposed to stimulate your mind.
I get up early, but it doesn't mean I like getting up early.
When I train against men, I always find that I push myself harder to my absolute maximum.
Trying to coordinate everything, it can be really hard to balance.
I enjoyed trying everything. I'd never get a chance to try fencing or archery if it wasn't for this. It was really fun experience.
You start seeing all of the athlete profiles on NBC, and whenever the Summer Olympics come up, I feel like I share the same experience with the Summer Olympians.
I want to ski as long as I can.
Ski racing is not about how much you weigh. If weight was the key, everybody would be sucking down food.
I want to be known for my athletic achievements, not my celebrity.
