BODE MILLERYou feel the Olympics and you get chills and nervous and a little scared.
BODE MILLERIt is not that I don’t recognize the danger in ski racing, but that I don’t fear the consequences.
BODE MILLEROne kid’s old, used-up equipment is another kid’s brand-new, awesome, awesome equipment.
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 MILLERSome of them I probably would like. Some of my fans probably beat their wives or run over little kids and they just happen to watch me on TV and like the way I ski.
BODE MILLERThe best way to protect your own freedom is to watch everybody else’s back. That’s the essence of community.
BODE MILLERI have an eight-year-old girl and she does have some appreciation for fashion, but she’s stuck in that.
BODE MILLERI don’t put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously.
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 MILLERWhy don’t they leave me freedom of choice? People want to impose choices which aren’t necessarily mine. That’s the mistake people make.

BODE MILLERJoin karma and nature and the effect you have on your world. Join your philosophy. Join something bigger than you. Join what you believe.

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 MILLERJoin the unwillingness to give up. Join doing things your way. Join not joining. Join that purpose is stronger than outcome.
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.
