Every time I've had a bad performance at an event, I've come back more determined and focused.

Some people attach snowboards to their feet, very few attach them to their souls.

I totally forget about snowboarding in the summertime.

I wasn't your average kid. I was signing autographs in Japan at 12.

I personally think skateboarding is harder because it has so many moving parts. With snowboarding, your feet are strapped to your board.

I’m a big fan of doing what you are really bad at. A lot.

You take a crash, you get back up and next time you succeed and that's a great feeling.

I remember thinking that I'd way rather give my parents my money, and not have to like have them go to work anymore, you know what I mean. Because I'd way rather spend more time with them.

Usually the thing that signifies that I'm done with the winter and all that is that I start skateboarding.

When the movie comes to an end, you are not totally the same person you are when you started the movie.

We humans are a fairly barbarous bunch.

If you try to over-control what you think you will achieve, you'll miss what you can actually accomplish.

If you listen to what's on the pop charts, everything is machine oriented.

"Fun to drive" is a pleasant illusion in most places robustly inhabited where "safe to drive" makes much more sense.
