I train with track athletes, which is weird for bobsledders. I love training with track athletes because they help me work on my speed, and they give me something to cheer for during the Summer Olympics. ”

The Lord calls us to love everybody. ”

I love driving the sled more than anything. ”

Love can overcome everything. ”

I love my teammates. I love my coaches. ”

My mom has never cared if I did sports or not. Obviously, she's proud of me, and she loves the fact that I'm an Olympian and she's got these trinkets to hang around with the medals and whatnot. But if I wanted to do whatever, if I wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer or whatever, she was going to support me regardless. ”

I'm not sure I'll ever love softball as much as bobsled. It's like having children: you don't love one more than the other, you just love them differently, and that's how my love for softball is vs. my love of bobsled - two totally different sports with different personalities. ”

The first run in a four-man sled was one of the most nerve-wracking I've had in my life. ”

You could have the best run of your life and lose a race because somebody has a better day. Or you could have the worst run and win. ”

I made driving mistakes in Sochi that cost me gold, and I'll torture myself for the rest of my life about that! ”
