People think that coaches are always right, but it's difficult to teach a runner how to run, because every runner is different.

People think that I'm mean because I'm quiet, and I don't really go out places or because I don't really say too much.

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. Bode Miller
