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.

I always do the contrary of what my coaches tell me.
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.
It's not quite as important who you beat as that you end up on top.
My goal is the same as every year - to not hurt myself.
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.
Once the season starts for me, there isn't a change in my focus, just a change in my tactics and strategies.
When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast.
I think four Olympics is probably enough. Five Olympics is a long time, but there's nothing wrong with that if I'm into it and I'm healthy and my priorities can fit around that.
A huge adrenaline rush is usually followed by a pretty low point.
