More quotes by Bode Miller
At the end of the day, you have to make sure you're at least listening to what your head is telling you, what your heart is telling you. That's hard to do when there are a million other people shouting as loud as they can.
Bode Miller
One of the really important things about the Olympics is, to enjoy yourself, you have to accept that it's different and feed off the enthusiasm of everyone and the inspiration and hopefully that will elevate your performance.
Bode Miller
My goal is the same as every year - to not hurt myself.
Bode Miller
Sometimes I'm disciplined, but I like to be a total slacker, too. I party hard, but I train hard.
Bode Miller
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.
Bode Miller
The way I judge myself is not on how many World Cups I can win in a row.
Bode Miller
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
Some people say I make mistakes. I just say that this is the secret of enjoying life. I hate monotony. Why don't they leave me freedom of choice? People want to impose choices which aren't necessarily mine. That's the mistake people make.
Bode Miller
One kid's old, used-up equipment is another kid's brand-new, awesome, awesome equipment.
Bode Miller
I simply think things through, and I look at problems. One thing I pride myself on is the ability to connect unconnected thoughts and come up with new, unique thoughts.
Bode Miller
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.
Bode Miller
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.
Bode Miller
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.
Bode Miller
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.
Bode Miller
I don't care what other people's judgments come down to-I care what my judgments come down to.
Bode Miller
I don't put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously.
Bode Miller
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.
Bode Miller
You feel the Olympics and you get chills and nervous and a little scared. You go through the emotional roller coaster at what it's like to compete at the Olympic level and you let that run through your whole body.
Bode Miller
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
It is not that I don't recognize the danger in ski racing, but that I don't fear the consequences.
