I like to win. If I lose, I'm not very happy.

I'm happy to belong to this group of top champions having excelled here.

I lost races because I wanted too much to win them in beating my rivals.

I sat down with my trainers to check my past seasons and to see what could be done to keep me motivated and in good shape. I had to find a new motivation, a new momentum.

Ski racing, especially downhill, is a dangerous activity and there are many accidents. It would be really too bad to lose everything because of a crash.

I still have more to fight for in the coming years.

I won a great giant slalom in Japan last week, and it gave me momentum for this final part of the season.

I trained well this week but I think it will take some time until I recover my best rhythm in this specialty.

This time, I took it easier. I stood up before it so as not to crash again.

It's good to ski for fun, but I still want to win races as often as possible.

I have a strong lead so far, and I would be proud to win it because it remains the summit for a skier. I also aim to collect several smaller crystal trophies at Are, especially the GS Cup.

I was quite moved to see this huge crowd which attended the ceremony in the middle of the town.

Franz Klammer was my great idol in my younger years.

As the time goes by, you change, your learn new things, your attitude is different. For the moment, I'm still enjoying ski racing so much that it would be difficult for me to think about ending my career.

One victory more or less doesn't make the difference for me now.

I still have many goals left, especially the Overall World Cup standings.

It's funny to have become an elegant skier now. But my drive is still the same.

For the moment, the snow is quite wet and soft. If it was hard or icy, it would be a perfect downhill for my style, because I could fight even harder.

There is no pressure on me, I can take a lot of risks in the coming weeks. I feel free to ski the way I decide on race-day because the overall title was not my main target this winter.

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.

I'm quite excited to think that I will run the Olympic race here next year.

My attitude on skis is different now. I have learned to put less pressure on myself and on the edges of my skis when I'm racing, to be keep myself more under control.

I like to win. If I lose, I'm not very happy.

At my age, you need to verify that everything is fine. I put a lot of pressure on my body, and I feel sometimes pain in my back and in my knees, so I have to be sure that I can keep on training hard before going on.

When I was a child, all I wanted was to enter the Austrian team and to compete on the World Cup tour. I had to fight hard to reach this. I wanted badly to win each race.

When you have won everything in your career, what's left? Why go on?

The crowd is wonderful. There is always a superb atmosphere in the finish area. It's good for the World Cup. I missed it a lot when I had to rest and it's so nice to be back here.

If I remain healthy, I can win more races, but I don't think so much about setting new records. I'm already proud to have become the leading Austrian World Cup racer.

It was necessary to organize my career to remain at the top level until Salt Lake City.

It was really tough to race the GS a day after the downhill, but that's over now. I'm looking forward for the rest of the season which is also quite interesting.

Nobody's perfect. We all fall down. What matters most is how quickly we get back up, learn from our mistakes and move on.

There are performers who have built their whole career doing magic on TV and can't really perform live at all - don't really have jobs and skills.

One of the things that's important for anybody adapting source material that is primarily a male buddy picture is to find ways to latch on to strong female characters in the piece and bring them to the forefront and celebrate their point of view alongside the men; otherwise, it becomes a sausage party, and it's a singular point of view.

Anytime you present a message that is seen as hate, you're going to have a negative impact.

I would rather be loved than have money and all that other stuff.

Ideas excite me, and as soon as I get excited, the adrenaline gets going and the next thing I know I'm borrowing energy from the ideas themselves.

I love English. I learned it from the speeches of Winston Churchill.

I have to recognize that I am agnostic.

People will remember a good comedy song a lot longer than they would some of the so-called straight love songs.

You dont have to make the headlines to make a difference.

I've had a life that has taken many interesting paths. I've learned a lot from mentors who were instrumental in shaping me, and I want to share what I've learned.

Some might say that that while al Qaeda the organization may be basically dead, its ideology continues to thrive and to inspire 'lone wolves' to attack the United States.

I remember my mom threatening me, half-serious: 'You know what? I should take you to Pittsburgh and put you in dance lessons just to keep you occupied.' Well, that brought everything to a screeching halt. 'Jeeze, dance lessons.' In retrospect, it would have been awesome, but then, 'Ugh, dancing - dancing's for sissies.'

I believe firmly that in making ethical decisions, man has the prerogative of true freedom of choice.

My first records are integral because I made them, you know, and I'm going to learn from those mistakes.

I find myself so easily discouraged. It is pathetic how easily I can be discouraged - easily discouraged by resistance, easily discouraged by opposition, easily discouraged by hardness of heart, easily discouraged by blindness.

There mark what ills the scholar's life assail, toil, envy, want, and patron.

The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.

I have a lot of respect for the musical theater plays.
