Lindsey Vonn Quotations | Page 2

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

I never felt sidelined, I was supported by my friends, my family and my team. I always knew I could do it. I had confidence in myself.

My goal, for almost my entire career, has been to promote ski racing not just in America, but across the world. I think it's an amazing sport. I am happy to be an ambassador for the next Olympics and I will do my best to honour the Olympics spirit and to hopefully encourage kids to participate in sports, especially in Asia and Korea and I am looking forward to an amazing Olympics.

Anytime you’re on the podium, it’s good.

I love skiing fast. You're going 80 to 85 m.p.h. down an icy slope, and I love it.

Today it was win or lose. But my victory yesterday and the downhill globe boosted my confidence. My record in Cortina was also a liberation.

Divorce doesn't fit my cookie-cutter image.

When I train against men, I always find that I push myself harder to my absolute maximum.

Trying to coordinate everything, it can be really hard to balance.

I enjoyed trying everything. I'd never get a chance to try fencing or archery if it wasn't for this. It was really fun experience.

You start seeing all of the athlete profiles on NBC, and whenever the Summer Olympics come up, I feel like I share the same experience with the Summer Olympians.

I want to ski as long as I can.

Be proud of yourself when you do keep going!

Setbacks help you to concentrate.

When you fall down, just get up again.

I went from being married to living on my own in L.A., to having a new boyfriend and just being totally self-sufficient and super independent. It's awesome. I love it!

My favorite ski run in the U.S. is International on the front face of Vail Mountain.

My mom is positive and optimistic.

Tiger Woods makes me a better athlete.

I really like figure skating.

Everyone knows marriage is tough.

My mom is really tough.

Setbacks motivate me.

Unfortunately, we both lead incredibly hectic lives that force us to spend a majority of our time apart. I will always admire and respect Tiger. He and his beautiful family will always hold a special place in my heart.

Life changes very quickly in a very positive way if you let it.

If you work hard, it will pay off in the end.

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 find folding laundry very relaxing.

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