  • 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: What I've Learned" by Ryan D'agostino, www.esquire.com. February 15, 2010.
  • The only mental games in ski racing is the mental game against yourself. Is the whole goal of life preserving your life as long as you can? No. The goal is to enjoy your life, challenge yourself, to sometimes make stupid decisions-which are sometimes fun and sometimes idiotic and sometimes just a big fat mistake you regret.

  • 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.

  • Ski racers are built odd with overbuilt butts and legs.

  • 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.

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

  • I'm still having fun and as long as skiing is enjoyable, I'm going to continue to do it.

  • 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.

  • Join the bold, the brazen, the unintimidated. Join not having excuses. Join the idea that fun is the source of all joy. Join the unwillingness to give up. Join doing things your way. Join not joining. Join that purpose is stronger than outcome. Join your gut. Join the constant challenge of seeking greatness. Join play. Join the hunger to find what makes you happy. Join karma and nature and the effect you have on your world. Join your philosophy. Join something bigger than you. Join what you believe.

  • There's been times when I've been in really tough shape at the top of the course. Talk about a hard challenge right there. I mean, if you ever tried to ski when you're wasted, it's not easy. Try and ski a slalom when … you hit a gate less than every one a second, so it's risky, you know. You're putting your life at risk there. It's like driving drunk only there's no rules about it in ski racing.

    "Miller on the carpet over drink-and-ski interview". Interview With Erica Bulman, www.theguardian.com. January 10, 2006.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • That feeling is the same whether you're on either side of the hundredths. Obviously, it's great to win the world championship, but if you put down that kind of skiing, it's awesome either way.

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

  • 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.

    "Miller's Medal Hopes Hit the Skids". www.theguardian.com. February 19, 2006.
  • My goal is the same as every year - to not hurt myself.

    Years  
  • Arousal-control has been an issue for me since the beginning of my career.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Despite all the pressure and the caliber of accomplishment, I still can honestly say that it's not all about winning.

  • 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 on Life Off the Slopes and His New Deal With Aztech Mountain". Interview with WWD, wwd.com. September 10, 2016.
