I trip walking down the stairs, but I can skate them probably.

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’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.

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.

It is always imagined before it is lived. In the world of thought, imaginations are lives, but people kill them before they grow to have life!

Hollywood is a cottage industry involving a very small number of people, and around the edges are enormous numbers of people trying to get into it and work.

People want you to be ordinary.

The past should not be a place where we live, but something from which we learn.

How well does your experience of the sacred in nature enable you to cope more effectively with the problems of mankind when you come back to the city?
