Bode Miller quotes - page 2

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. (Bode Miller)
I had to think about ankle torsion, where the screws are on the ski, how that affects the forces going into the ski and how the ski bends, your leverage points. It was a challenge. I was having the greatest time, making the mistakes, crashing. View quote

From 1999 to 2003 was the peak of equipment in ski racing. Since then, it's all gone in the wrong direction. View quote
Bode Miller
My team has been very unreceptive about the fact that I consistently show them that I train slightly differently than they do, that I consistently show them that I am in better shape for ski racing than anyone else on the team. View quote

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. View quote

My daughter's name is Neesyn Dacey but everyone calls her Dacey. Her mom chose Neesyn and I chose Dacey after she was born. The mother is a good friend of mine who I was seeing a while ago. We are no longer together. View quote

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. View quote
Bode Miller
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. View quote
Bode Miller
When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast. View quote
Bode Miller
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. (Bode Miller)
I really am a thinker. I don't do things rash. I know some of the things I've said or the way I act seem rash. But I do take ownership of it. I don't say things I don't mean. View quote
Bode Miller
Sometimes it's all about the win, sometimes it's about the skiing. View quote
Bode Miller
It's not quite as important who you beat as that you end up on top. View quote
Bode Miller
One kid's old, used-up equipment is another kid's brand-new, awesome, awesome equipment. View quote
Bode Miller
Once the season starts for me, there isn't a change in my focus, just a change in my tactics and strategies. View quote
Bode Miller
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. View quote
Bode Miller
Eventually I'd like to have a family. I'd like to not be limping around when I'm 50 years old. View quote
Bode Miller
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. View quote
Bode Miller
It's important for me to live my life honestly. View quote
Bode Miller
When you get old, it's hard to tell what's memory and what you've kind of created in your head as memory, you know? (Bode Miller)
I don't put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously. View quote
