I've been myself my whole life.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

We should tell our kids to just have fun, participate and not get bent on winning or losing. But every coach, when they say that, they say it tongue in cheek, 'Don't worry about winning': If you win I'll get you ice cream, but if you lose I'm going to pout in the car.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
