Best quote: “I had a lot of dreams. I always wanted to be good at something or other, at playing the piano or skiiing, whatever. By the time I was 15 I had tried almost everything. In football I was selected for the under-16 eastern Switzerland team and until I was 14 I did ski racing. I was really good at that too. My father was a World Cup skier and I got a little bit of that from him.”
