I skied on Astroturf and PVC pipe on the slope in my backyard.

The inclusion of slopestyle in the Olympics is cool. I think it's going to be a total breath of fresh air. The Olympics needs us more than we need it.

Even when there's pressure and distractions and expectations from others or myself, it's a good thing. It just makes me a better person. It makes me stronger.

Most places in the Midwest, you ski on piles of trash, like retired landfills.

It's never fun to do it by yourself. It's good to have other people that are on the same path as you. It's nice to have that in common and be able to converse with them. It's cool to share that.

I try to keep a pretty one-tracked mind.

All the exciting contests and travel and sponsorships are cool, but I like to be able to have influence on people and on youngsters.

All the athletes are individuals. This isn't a team sport. We all have our own styles, our own clothing preferences and our own way of doing things. That's the way I do things and I'm proud of it.

Contrary to popular belief, there are actually quite a few guys in the action sports community that have faith and are Christians.

Multitudes speak of their first love

The heart has always the pardoning power.

There is no god. I am an atheist. It is up to us to become God. We need to be elevated, to become saints. God alienates people from themselves.

A metaphor for good information design is a map. Hold any diagram against a map and see how it compares.

I'm always interested in a claustrophobic situation where people might be powerless to do things.

God had a heartbeat for 18-25 years old...the vast majority of whom don't have a clue why they are on this planet.

Like wars, forest fires and bad marriages, really stupid laws are much easier to begin than they are to end.

I've always been selective about materials I choose anyways. The incoming calls haven't been projects that I necessarily want to do. Now I can always be called "Emmy winner Regina King."

I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment. Everything is in tune: the voice, the type of music, who I am and who people think I am.

I really want to try to become a great actress when I get older and continue to do what I'm doing now.
