I'm not trying to snowboard for other people anymore. That just kind of comes with age and growing up. That's helped me a lot. Some of that started right after the last Olympics (in Vancouver).

Make your relationships more important than your accomplishments .

You can’t let your current circumstances dictate what kind of choices you make.

Snowboarding was everything that I knew. That's what I did and I poured everything I had into it. I thought that being successful and achieving my goals would go hand-in-hand with being happy.

I feel like there is great purpose in a lot of my endeavors. I've seen God in the middle of them. I've seen Him be faithful in those things.

Love may be blind but jealousy has 20-20 vision.

Government is at its worst when you have apathy from its citizens.

Thou has conquered, O pale Galilean.

How small these rescued tides appear! Earthly delights flow in torrents. Each object offers paradise.

Two packed houses. I guess the theater sat 2,700 people every night so it was an amazing experience.

If making money is a slow process, losing it is quickly done.

I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, "No, you just have anxiety."

What makes a great endurance athlete is the ability to absorb potential embarrassment, and to suffer without complaint.

I run probably 35-40 miles a week, and I think 80 per cent of your body is what you eat. The biggest part is just eating well.
