I was literally living on the edge of life, to the point where I didn't know what was going to happen, not caring, taking chances and finally landing in prison and once there, all my lines were cut.

I think I was around 15 when my Dad was 40 and thought, "Man he's old. There's no way I'll be skating at that age."

God always puts somebody in your life at the right moment.

When skateboarding hit, I wanted to be best skateboarder in the world, and I fought for it, there was nothing that was going to get in my way.

I love the Lord with my life and through that love, I walk the walk, I don't just talk the talk.

I had people telling me I was the best and when it would sink in, I'd feel like I'd have to push things further, otherwise I wasn't worthy of their praise.

Every question I'd ever had God answered and still continues to answer every one I have today. It's really amazing what God can do.

I read the different translations of the Bible they had and really just dove into it, almost so I could prove it all right.

I spent five years in prison, a free man for the first time in my whole life.

I won contest after contest until finally I realized, "Ok, I am the best in the world, but now what?" So I opened my own company, but there was still that feeling of, "What else do I need to do?"

I'd searched everywhere for this thing called love. I went through life seeking something that would be the ultimate.

The higher you climb, the more Satan will take notice. Keep climbing! Heaven's gate has a lock.

have written my first grateful thanks for a fresh new day in a new year.

What people say about you, good or bad, is not nearly as important as what you are.

I just want people to know you can get through stuff. I hope people can see that in what my life has been and where it is going.

I think our family motto is to always work hard, be humble, kind, and thoughtful about others around us.

God is looking for people to use, and if you can get usable, he will wear you out. The most dangerous prayer you can pray is this: 'Use me.'

It's important to me that people can associate being different with being beautiful.

I wish to be at any time hereafter only a yea-sayer!

I think if you need to use a gun you're doing a lousy job as a detective.

There is only one way to solve the alleged crisis of the erosion of 'family values.' And that is to get right down to the root cause of the problem.
