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.

The way I judge myself is not on how many World Cups I can win in a row.
Bode Miller
Image
Despite all the pressure and the caliber of accomplishment, I still can honestly say that it's not all about winning.
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.

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

I simply think things through, and I look at problems. One thing I pride myself on is the ability to connect unconnected thoughts and come up with new, unique thoughts.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Image
Sometimes I'm disciplined, but I like to be a total slacker, too. I party hard, but I train hard.
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
Once the season starts for me, there isn't a change in my focus, just a change in my tactics and strategies.

Image
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.

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.

The best way to protect your own freedom is to watch everybody else's back. That's the essence of community.

I would say most of my style is driven by functionality and comfort.

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.

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