Quote

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.

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
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.

Image
I don't put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously.
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
When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast.
Bode Miller
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.

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

Image
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.

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

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.

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

My goal is the same as every year - to not hurt myself.

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

Once the season starts for me, there isn't a change in my focus, just a change in my tactics and strategies.

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

People want athletes to cater to their image of what an athlete should be, but they also want them to fail so they can feel like their screwups are all right. If I make a priority shift, I'll make it because it's best for me.

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.
