Lindsey Vonn

I don't know if I'll ever get used to the idea that strangers know who I am. I don't know if I want to.

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

Vail's a very important place for me. Everyone kind of took me in and accepted me in that town, and they still have to this day. I wouldn't be a downhill skier if I hadn't been there.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.
