Follow your dreams as long as you live! Never be afraid to go out on the limb to live up to your expectations. Always do things your way and Have Fun!

Every once in a while I run the Olympic downhill in Japan in my head. I think of how the energy is going to flow and then I make it all work for myself.

I'm the kind of person that when I really want something, I wish for it. I wish on shooting stars. I wish on lots of things.

I'm not following anybody's tracks, I'm making my own, baby.
