I've been myself my whole life.
Bode Miller
Image
When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast.
Bode Miller
Image
The best way to protect your own freedom is to watch everybody else's back. That's the essence of community.

Image
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.
Bode Miller
Image
My goal is the same as every year - to not hurt myself.
Bode Miller
Image
When I was little, I spent a lot of time by myself. When other kids were in school, I was skiing and thinking about things. I was alone on the mountain.
Bode Miller
Image
In some ways, that's the story of my season - when I wasn't making big mistakes, I was winning races and being on the podium. And when I made mistakes I was still fourth or fifth, just off the podium.

It's important for me to live my life honestly.

Image
I still love racing and the challenge of it, but at some point, you get to a place where you're perfectly happy moving on and doing other stuff.

Image
It is not that I don't recognize the danger in ski racing, but that I don't fear the consequences.

Image
If I could wish one thing for anyone, it would be to not have to do anything his entire life-just go along and when you feel like doing something, do it.

Image
I tried retiring a couple of times and it just didn't really stick so, but at some point enough things conspire together and it does stick.

Image
My grandfather was very into horse racing, and I found some of his old journals and got into it from there. It has a lot of parallels to skiing. It's a fun lifestyle, being around the racetrack.

At this point in my career, I have the privilege of choosing my partners. In the beginning, you more or less take what comes in the door - or what matches up with your brand. But you're always subject to what's available, especially in the ski world where there are not infinite choices, especially on the fashion side.

I had crashes when I was small and Gumby-like that would have killed me now. I would just fly off jumps and go 40 or 50 meters when I was 6 years old - break skis, smash my goggles and get a bloody nose and go crawl inside for a little while and then come back out and ski more in the afternoon.

Once the season starts for me, there isn't a change in my focus, just a change in my tactics and strategies.
Bode Miller
Image
Sometimes I'm disciplined, but I like to be a total slacker, too. I party hard, but I train hard.
Bode Miller
Image
It's nice, being brought up with no money at all. It's just not how I measure success, so that makes it a bunch easier.

Image
People in the U.S. will watch anything if it's put in front of their face over and over again. I like to see what's possible, more than anything.

I think four Olympics is probably enough. Five Olympics is a long time, but there's nothing wrong with that if I'm into it and I'm healthy and my priorities can fit around that.
