Quotes of 1977

Quotes taken from the authors in 1977

My team has been very unreceptive about the fact that I consistently show them that I train slightly differently than they do, that I consistently show them that I am in better shape for ski racing than anyone else on the team.

I went through a period at boarding school when my coaches wanted me to switch to snowboarding because they thought I was no good at skiing. I was too skinny. I had terrible technique. They were saying I should be a snowboarder, and luckily, I resisted.

It does matter that it's the Olympics. I just did it my way. I'm not a martyr, and I'm not a do-gooder. I just want to go out and rock. And man, I rocked here.

But there was no question in my mind that I was gonna still go for it. I was still going for the win. I wasn't skiing for second or third place today, and in the end I think that's probably what got me there.

People want athletes to cater to their image of what an athlete should be, but they also want them to fail so they can feel like their screwups are all right. If I make a priority shift, I'll make it because it's best for me.

I like to know the places I write about. I feel like it helps me ground the novel. My novels are 'realistic novels,' but they can also be fantastical, so it's nice to have a setting that grounds them a little bit.

Videogame players essentially choose whether to win the game or to die heroically. There's a certain glory in both.

Every time I try to set something in Chicago, I get intimidated by 'Augie March.' It's easy to set something in Indianapolis - we don't have 'Augie March' here. But I love writing about Chicago, and I love being there and imagining lives in Chicago. I hope to set something there in the future, but it's intimidating.

I realized during my time as a chaplain that I didn't want to be a minister.

I think it's crazy, crazy that book tours lose so much money. They shouldn't. Book tours should be part of what keeps independent bookstores vibrant and profitable.

I'm used to short distances and short bursts of energy; it was just fastest.

I was always athletic and I could do a lot of things.

I'm an athlete rep, so I'll be available if they need me for anything.

Charles Barkley, I used to watch him growing up. Then I met him. He was a big teddy bear.

It's been really good to have a goal and go after it. That feels good.

I use Graf Edmonton for boots and John Wilson blades.

I wish I could say it's easy, but honestly, to get ready for a big championship is not as easy as it seems.

I will try to make a doll of Oksana with a little dog.

My weaknesses are my jumps. The reason is that although I land them in practice, when I actually compete or perform, I should let my body go and stabilize my mind better. Also, I need to work on not letting negative thoughts and emotions get to me on the ice.

I don't care what the critics say or think because I care for and love my fans.
