These have been the most successful years I've ever had. I've been placing well in the contests but more importantly I've been enjoying them. I think those two things go hand-in-hand.

Make your relationships more important than your accomplishments .

You can’t let your current circumstances dictate what kind of choices you make.

Snowboarding was everything that I knew. That's what I did and I poured everything I had into it. I thought that being successful and achieving my goals would go hand-in-hand with being happy.

I feel like there is great purpose in a lot of my endeavors. I've seen God in the middle of them. I've seen Him be faithful in those things.

Yeah, one of my approaches with my community, my friends, the companies I represent, has been to take the attitude of what I bring instead of what I can get. What can I give?

Hug me and you will see the moon. Love me and I will bring the moon to you!

I think I've done a pretty good job of not compartmentalizing my life. I take my core values and I live them out at home like I would in my snowboarding like I would at church with my friends.

As I've been open with my faith, there's a consistency that almost disarms people. They know what they're going to get when they see me. They know what they're going to get when they talk to me.

I'm not trying to snowboard for other people anymore. That just kind of comes with age and growing up. That's helped me a lot. Some of that started right after the last Olympics (in Vancouver).

You won't get perfect by beating yourself up

I WILL FOLLOW ANYONE...AND BEG EVERYONE...TO BE A HERO... AND SAVE THE YAZIDI NATION

To give awkwardly is churlishness. The most difficult part is to give, then why not add a smile?

Every doorway, every intersection has a story.

Really anything can happen at any time and we are very addicted to comfort. Life is just not always comfortable.

On doing what you want to do.

Librarians in America do something like a couple of billion dollars worth of book business every year.

Some of the songs I've made, I'm really disappointed in how I mixed them.

The first season, 'Supernatural' was very anthology-like. It was like a scary story of the week that the brothers would solve.

If you are really one of us, it won't matter to you that you might fail. And if it does, you are a coward.
