Having all eyes on me at all times is hard to deal with, but it's great. It feels like you've already accomplished something. It's already predetermined that you're going to do well.

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.

I think the way to become the best is to just have fun.

The hardest thing about skateboarding is consistency: The slightest flick of your foot or gust of wind can send your board flying, so it's really anybody's game out there.

We shouldn’t use God for our purpose alone but also be instruments of the extension of His Kingdom

There is no poetry without want. Desperate want.

Cause I'm Black and I'm proud I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps

Rose of the desert! thou art to me An emblem of stainless purity,-- Of those who, keeping their garments white, Walk on through life with steps aright.

Good & quickly seldome meete.

I would have it inscribed on the curtains of your bed and the walls of your chamber: "If you do not rise early you can make progress in nothing."
