I'm the kind of person who likes to focus on one thing at a time. I'll focus on my skiing and then when I get to the bottom of my run and the cameras are on me, I'll focus on what I need to say, and then I'll focus that night on recovering and getting ready for the next day.

Even if you have the talent, you still have to push yourself. I don't think dreams magically appear, that's why they're called dreams.

If you have a big dream, it takes all of the above to achieve it: passion, the focus and the effort.
