I was thinking about hitting races and stuff, but it's just, I think it's more of the era of when I was a kid and it just brings back memories. I gotta just chill and live in the past.

I just feel like all the things that I do in my life just make me feel like a grown-up kid. That's pretty much what I am.

I usually just wear black so my shoes and my socks are my rays of sunshine.

At an early age I told myself I would never quit skating, I would never quit riding BMX and being a motorcycle junkie. I just can't stop doing those things.

I do what I love for a living, and I also get to build BMX bikes in my spare time.

Even when I'm old and grey I'll probably be cruising around and bunny-hopping and stuff. In the words of the Descendents, "I don't want to grow up."

I have the '86 Haro Master that I built. It was the bike I wanted as a kid and couldn't afford, and I'm like, "I'm going to build that Haro and never ride it."

Skating is what got me into punk rock.

The extent of my personal BMX adventures were all [on] dirt tracks. But just the aesthetic of it that early-to-mid-'80s BMX is something that's just part of me.

I used to race at the YMCA in Crystal Lake, Illinois, they used to have a dirt track there, and there was also a track near Rockford, Illinois, that I would go to.

My duty is to pray. I know God hears my prayers.

Keep passing the open windows.

Helplessness in the face of a child's suffering is the curse of parenthood.

The Puritans' sense of priorities in life was one of their greatest strengths. Putting God first and valuing everything else in relation to God was a recurrent Puritan theme.

My wife and I have what's known as mixed marriage. I am a Methodist, she is a Muslim. So we're keeping it in the M's.

I didn't realize until I was older what a huge music fan my daddy really was, and actually that my grandma played banjo at one time, and I didn't even know that until a year or two ago.

On Saturday afternoons, there was a film, of course, and then we did about four shows between the films. And I would do a tap dance, a little military tap.

Who in the rainbow can draw the line where the violet tint ends and the orange tint begins?

There was a gas strike, oil strike, lorry strike, bread strike, got to be a Superman to survive.

It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out; it's the grain of sand in your shoe.
