It seems kind of silly, but it's really nice to chill in the kitchen with a friend and bake. It relaxes me, and mixing is probably my favorite part.

Follow your dreams. If you have a goal, and you want to achieve it, then work hard and do everything you can to get there, and one day it will come true.

When you fall, get right back up. Just keep going, keep pushing it.

I think the most important thing in skiing is you have to be having fun. If you're having fun, then everything else will come easy to you.

I want to keep pushing the limits to see what’s possible. That’s the nice thing about ski racing - no one is stopping you from going faster.

I find folding laundry very relaxing.

If you go around being afraid, you're never going to enjoy life. You have only one chance, so you've got to have fun.

You are only limited to what you push yourself to, you know? You can always get better.

I don't give up easily. I have plans to be around for a while.

I'm never tired of winning, and I'm never tired of skiing.

I always channeled what I felt emotionally into skiing - my insecurities, my anger, my disappointment. Skiing was always my outlet, and it worked.

But I don't understand God. I don't understand how he could see the way people treat one another, and not chalk up the whole human race as a bad idea.

You have no power at all if you do not exercise constant power.

I love the idea of couture and its emphasis on creation. There's where I made my name - in design - and there's where I'd like to stay.

If you have a screaming angry director, everyone else will be panicked as well.

I want to work with a director who becomes my brother, my father, for two months. You give yourself over to that person.

I have been very lucky for most of my adult life to be working as an actor.

I thought poems were songs for people with bad voices.

Over the last four years, I've made a habit of coming into my office in the morning and just getting to work.

I'm interested in human vulnerability. We are alone, and my portraits reflect this quality. I don't want anything to get in the way of this feeling.

I am always drawn back to places where I have lived, the houses and their neighborhoods.
