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

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 still love racing and the challenge of it, but at some point, you get to a place where you're perfectly happy moving on and doing other stuff.
Bode Miller
Image
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
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.

Image
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.

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

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
I don't care what other people's judgments come down to-I care what my judgments come down to.

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

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.

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.

Image
When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast.
Bode Miller
Image
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
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
Image
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.
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.

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