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
When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast.
Bode Miller
Image
Despite all the pressure and the caliber of accomplishment, I still can honestly say that it's not all about winning.

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
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.

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.

Some of them I probably would like. Some of my fans probably beat their wives or run over little kids and they just happen to watch me on TV and like the way I ski. Obviously I clearly wouldn't like that person if I knew 'em better.

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.

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 don't care what other people's judgments come down to-I care what my judgments come down to.
Bode Miller
Image
I like to keep my private life private for the most part.
Bode Miller
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
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
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.
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.

Image
The way I judge myself is not on how many World Cups I can win in a row.
Bode Miller
Image
I would say most of my style is driven by functionality and comfort.

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

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.

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.
