We can't control what the ratings will be. It's like, if you're going to go skiing, do you hope you'll have a good day of skiing? Yes. Do you hope you won't break your leg? Yes.
I discovered and fell in love with skiing long before I started to climb. Skiing was really my first calling. As a kid, I grew up skiing in jeans in Minnesota.
I just love to be on my skis, skiing with my friends, just going out into the mountains and being in nature and skiing some powder. That's the best thing.
What I might have considered good, good doesn't mean every day is going to be perfect, you're not going to have bad breath, your hair is going to be in the perfect place.
It's always about wanting to one-up myself from the day before. There's never an absolute 100% perfect performance, but going out and striving for that perfect performance is what keeps me going.
It's insane going from skiing to cycling. Even though you are in prime shape, you feel like you have never worked out a day in your life.
Looking for the perfect day is not going to make us happy, because that day isn't going to come.
One day Jesus is going to come back and reign with perfect justice. There will be no questions about what's happened. There will be perfect justice and I look forward to that day.
I used to listen to 'Perfect Day' by Hoku every single day in high school! 'On this perfect day, nothin' standin' in my way... Don't you try to rain on my perfect day.' It pumped me up when I was feeling down or defeated, whether it was from the cool kids making me feel left out or feeling overwhelmed with homework and mean teachers.
My family, my friends, and skiing... thats it for me, thats my life. The joy I get from skiing, thats worth dying for.
I'd imagine a great date would be to go skiing. Imagine going skiing. Go ski with someone, if they can ski.
I do uphill skiing; I don't do downhill skiing. I think that's for nerd amateurs.
Men mess up. Women create this big illusion in their head that the man they're going to be with is going to be perfect. Nobody's going to be perfect, and people are going to let you down. The only thing that you can hope for is someone that's going to be honest with you.
Cooking is like snow skiing: If you don't fall at least 10 times, then you're not skiing hard enough.
In my 30s I used to go to the gym even though I hated it. The purpose of going to the gym was to postpone the day when I would stop going. That's what writing is to me: a way of postponing the day when I won't do it any more, the day when I will sink into a depression so profound it will be indistinguishable from perfect bliss.
I live on the water and I have jet skis. Skiing is my biggest thing, I've been skiing since I was five-years-old.
