I planned to stop in 2002 after the Salt Lake City Olympics. I felt able to remain competitive another four years, and I wanted to stop while I'm still at the top.

It always has been a goal of mine to compete in the Olympics. Right after I graduated from college, I moved out to Salt Lake City with my mind focused on making the 2014 team.

If I had a normal job and had been moving up, I'd be management level now.

When I came in, the city was on the edge of bankruptcy. I'm proud of what I did. I built the foundation that mayors after me built upon - particularly Bloomberg. But the foundation was essential because if it hadn't occurred, we would have been another Detroit.

I had always dreamed of being an Olympian, and something clicked inside of me. I knew I had to move to Salt Lake City and make this dream a reality.

I will never forget my humble beginnings as a Laker Girl. It was probably one of the most fun jobs I ever had.

I left Montana in Spring of 1866, for Utah, arriving at Salt Lake city during the summer.

I should have been trying to build a career, rather than leaving it in the hands of somebody else.

I had an agent in Salt Lake City, but acting was more like a hobby.

After three years in Chicago, I decided to call it a career.
