More quotes by Bode Miller
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
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
When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast.
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 way I judge myself is not on how many World Cups I can win in a row.
Bode Miller
My goal is the same as every year - to not hurt myself.

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.

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.

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
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
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
One kid's old, used-up equipment is another kid's brand-new, awesome, awesome equipment.
Bode Miller
I don't put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously.
Bode Miller
I like to keep my private life private for the most part.
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
The best way to protect your own freedom is to watch everybody else's back. That's the essence of community.
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 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.
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
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.
