I like it when hard work pays off.

Out on the hill under the helmet, nobody sees your face or hair, but then you take it off, and they do - that's the part I'm nervous about.

When I'm in the starting gate, it's just me and the hill.

Most technological advances in our life now come from serendipitous discoveries. That is a contraction of rocket technology and computer technology and atomic clock technology.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

In the final analysis, it is your decision to make, but it doesn't move as fast as I'd like it to move.
