I like to keep my private life private for the most part.

It is not that I don't recognize the danger in ski racing, but that I don't fear the consequences.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Sometimes I'm disciplined, but I like to be a total slacker, too. I party hard, but I train hard.

I've been myself my whole life.

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.
