Watching young Afghan skaters in the film 'Skateistan' made me realize why I've spent my entire life as a skateboarder.

Certainly you don't want to make something that nobody sees. It's not really about success, it's about sharing something.

What I lack in technique, I think I make up more for in intuition. I think intuition is underrated and so important in the work that one does in one's life.

Going with intuition a lot of times is very lonely. You're going on hunches - a little voice in here says, "Go this way." And your mind is saying, "You're crazy."

Jay Adams may not have been the world's best skater, but he was the man, the real deal, the original, the first. He is the archetype of our shared heritage.

When life takes away, something of greater value is always given in return.

I hate it when people slag us off. We had done three tours during 1970 and we finished off feeling we had just about had enough. We had done so much in that short space of time, we were drained.

Where ideas are real and reality is shadow.
