You take a crash, you get back up and next time you succeed and that's a great feeling.

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.

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.

You know the best thing about competition? There's this whole strategy game, and when it all works out its like solving that hard math equation. You finally get the answer and you're so happy.

You stand the risk of misfortunes, because you refused to take risks. So life demands risks.

You're believing for more and so through the years God has honored that.

Love is the profoundest of secrets. Divulged, even to the beloved, it is no longer Love. As if it were merely I that loved you. When love ceases, then it is divulged.

Nothing can be further apart than true humility and servility.

I love the power women have. I think women rule the world because they rule men. Manipulating men - that's our job. That's what we're on the planet for.

Be sensitive to the qualities inherent in the medium. Paint honestly and avoid tricks.

Nothing will ever top 'The Wire.' It was historical. It was black cinema.

To enjoy life, you don't need fancy nonsense, but you do need to control your time and realize that most things just aren't as serious as you make them out to be.
