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.

More quotes by 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
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
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
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
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.
Bode Miller
Despite all the pressure and the caliber of accomplishment, I still can honestly say that it's not all about winning.
Bode Miller
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.
Bode Miller
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.
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
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
I would say most of my style is driven by functionality and comfort.
Bode Miller
I like to keep my private life private for the most part.
Bode Miller
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.
Bode Miller
The best way to protect your own freedom is to watch everybody else's back. That's the essence of community.
Bode Miller
From 1999 to 2003 was the peak of equipment in ski racing. Since then, it's all gone in the wrong direction.
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
When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast.
Bode Miller
I've been myself my whole life.
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
