One kid's old, used-up equipment is another kid's brand-new, awesome, awesome equipment.

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.

Image
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.

The way I judge myself is not on how many World Cups I can win in a row.
Bode Miller
Image
I couldn't be happier with where my life's at right now. I have great partners, I have great stimulating relationships on the business side of things, I've been really busy and productive.

When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast.

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.

From 1999 to 2003 was the peak of equipment in ski racing. Since then, it's all gone in the wrong direction.

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.

I don't put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously.

Sometimes I'm disciplined, but I like to be a total slacker, too. I party hard, but I train hard.

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

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.

It's important for me to live my life honestly.
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
I've been myself my whole life.

Image
I don't care what other people's judgments come down to-I care what my judgments come down to.

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.
