It's the Olympics. People are trying to take more chances.

It's an emotional time right now because I am so tired. It's great to be done with the season and to be looking forward to some time off.

The time tells the story. I think I had some good sections but the race is really tight and you lose a lot of time really fast on snow like this. It's really hard to make it up and I think that's what happened to me today.

You wouldn't want to run a race that wasn't fair for everyone. I'd rather wait for good conditions that are fair for everyone than to hold a race where the climate fluctuates from one skier to another.

I've been in the studio experimenting on making a CD of my own. I'm trying out different producers, styles, sounds. With music, as opposed to acting, you are not playing a character. You are showing people who you are. I really want to have my spirit in it.

For those who didn't get in, keep trying, because it is subjective.
