That’s hard to do when there are a million other people shouting as loud as they can.
BODE MILLERThat’s hard to do when there are a million other people shouting as loud as they can.
BODE MILLERSometimes I’m disciplined, but I like to be a total slacker, too. I party hard, but I train hard.
BODE MILLEROne 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.
BODE MILLERThe same people who recognize I came out with no medals should recognize I could have won three.
BODE MILLERI 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 MILLERIf you’re unhappy with the way you played, what’s the point?
BODE MILLERThere’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.
BODE MILLERThe best way to protect your own freedom is to watch everybody else’s back. That’s the essence of community.

BODE MILLERYou feel the Olympics and you get chills and nervous and a little scared.
BODE MILLERPeople 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 MILLERMy 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.
BODE MILLERMy 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.
BODE MILLERMy daughter’s name is Neesyn Dacey but everyone calls her Dacey. Her mom chose Neesyn and I chose Dacey after she was born.
BODE MILLERI would say most of my style is driven by functionality and comfort.
BODE MILLERWhen I was little, I spent a lot of time by myself. When other kids were in school, I was skiing and thinking about things. I was alone on the mountain.
