More quotes by Bode Miller
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.

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

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
The way I judge myself is not on how many World Cups I can win in a row.
Bode Miller
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.

There's so many guys skiing so fast right now that you really have to be willing to take a lot of risks if you want to give yourself a chance to win. I'm prepared to do it it's just a matter of if I can make it work.
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
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.
Bode Miller
Once the season starts for me, there isn't a change in my focus, just a change in my tactics and strategies.
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
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
Sometimes I'm disciplined, but I like to be a total slacker, too. I party hard, but I train hard.
Bode Miller
I've been myself my whole life.
Bode Miller
I would say most of my style is driven by functionality and comfort.
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
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
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.
