I still can't believe I won the Olympics. That's what I feel right now - completely alive as a human being. It's a really beautiful moment.

I've reached my goal with snowboarding.

If I died tomorrow, I would be a happy girl.

This Olympics is almost a little sad. It is my final Olympics. There are a lot of good memories.

I know my family and I would always go up to the mountains just for fun. We always skied. Then, all of a sudden, my brother started snow boarding. Older brother thing, I had to do what he was doing. So I started snow boarding.

When I came back to skating, everyone was like 'Oh you're the snowboard guy.'

I knew if I stayed in London my whole life would be dancing. I'd won almost every major title you can. I thought 'This really isn't my passion. I really want to sing,' and I knew I wouldn't be able to if I stayed there.

If I pass away one day, I am happy because I tried to do my best. My sport allowed me to do so much because it's the biggest sport in the world.

If my dad was alive, I wouldn't have gone to boarding school, and I wouldn't have had the success I've had.

My brother David was a great athlete and I knew there was no way I could live up to that.
