I've never liked the idea of working for other people.
independence kids
I think it is important to let your kids have independence and ownership. Let your kids do what they have a passion for.
chance confident good race
I feel very confident in my skiing. I know I have a good chance to win any race I start.
famous
I don't do ski racing to be famous.
pushed rebelled ski
My parents never pushed me to ski race. It was my choice and something I really wanted to do. I would have rebelled if they had pushed me, and I wouldn't have had the same passion.
beat nature playing ski sports team time
It's the nature of the beast, playing sports on the ski team and how competitive all of us are. I want to beat everybody's time.
disbelief
I was in disbelief when Raich went out.
gotten point talk
I think I've gotten to the point where I shouldn't be having to talk about Bode.
both bummed definitely looked teammate
I was with Bode when they called down that he had been disqualified. We both kind of looked at each other and were like, 'Are you serious?' I was pretty bummed for him. You definitely don't ever want to see your teammate go down that way.
beat disbelief gold guys happy obviously win
I was kind of in disbelief because that was obviously the gold medal. I was happy to see it but I don't like to win like that. I want to beat the guys skiing.
next stupid
I think it's kind of stupid to make him do it if he isn't going to be in the next run.
fresh hard risks snow top
There is fresh snow on top of the ice, it makes it a little inconsistent. It was hard to find an edge. I just couldn't make it with the risks I was having to take.
believe saw ski
When I saw (Raich) ski out I just couldn't believe what was happening.
bummed lucky surprised
I didn't see anything and he was surprised by it. I was pretty bummed for him. No way could I have surmounted him today. I was kind of lucky in that way.
