I love 'Saturday Night Live,' and it's such a funny show. I don't know if I'm funny enough to be on it but definitely would be interested in doing it.
I don't know where I'm supposed to meet a boyfriend. It's weird.
I don't really believe that you need to be married to someone to be their life partner.
I remember when I met Picabo Street, you know, how in awe I was of her and how much she inspired me, and I really hope to be that for young kids.
I'm not trying to race the whole men's tour; I just want to race one time. If you know me, which most people on the World Cup do, they know that this is a legitimate goal of mine and not a publicity stunt.
I wouldn't change being married. It was good for me, and I was happy for a period of time, and I learned a lot about myself.
Setbacks motivate me.
It's so important for kids to get involved with sports in general at a young age.
Unfortunately, we both lead incredibly hectic lives that force us to spend a majority of our time apart. I will always admire and respect Tiger. He and his beautiful family will always hold a special place in my heart.
I'm never tired of winning, and I'm never tired of skiing.
I snack on fruit and nuts. In the middle of my long workouts, I'll have a protein shake.
People get nervous driving around corners, thinking they're going to tip over. But you can go soooo much faster through the curves than you realize.
I'm not trying to get five medals. I'm not trying to be Michael Phelps.
There are times when one certain snow condition is great for one particular brand of skis.
