I've had dreams about tricks.

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.

There was almost a flicker of humanity in the man. The kind of human who pulled wings off flies as a kid, but still human.

Betty had forgotten how you only get slivers of stories from children - usually what they echo from overheard adult conversations.

Prayer is not supposed to be magical.

The fight for joy is first and always a fight to see.

All due respect to Romeo and Juliet, but I don’t think love is sacrifice at all. Real love is when you let another person make you better. You don’t lose yourself in love—you find yourself there.

Father, help us to rest our heads on the soft pillow of Your providence.

Most of our songs were written on acoustic guitar before they made it to the practice stage.

We now live in a secular humanist theocracy. I want to change that to a government with God at its head.

As far as I can work out, no-one really loses out.

No temptation can ever be measured by the value of its object.
