When kids come up to me and say. 'I want to be like you,' it fires me up. It's pretty cool.

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.

I love doing both theater and television. I definitely foresee more Broadway, but I think I would like to keep the singing and the TV separate.

I am crazy as hell, but I know it. And knowing it is a kind of sanity that makes the sickness worse.

We idolized the Beatles, except for those of us who idolized the Rolling Stones, who in those days still had many of their original teeth.

Capitalism without bankruptcy is like Christianity without hell.

Life is a long headache in a noisy street.

There are six Time Warp Trio books that would take a page each to fully praise. And I just thought up twelve more while I was typing this sentence.

I definitely listened to country music. I don't think I listened to hair bands as much as I did Bruce Springsteen and U2 and Aerosmith.

I hope that I can maintain my skating as long as possible.

I can be very messy and disorganized. And I don't throw away anything.

Laws which are consistent in theory often prove chaotic in practice.
