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

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?

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.

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).

Having been ripped open and drained by the crowd When I enter my home, Many homes seem to be waiting for me to give a shape to this life which is about to perish.

I am an optimist because I want to change things for the better and I know that blood has to be spilled and disharmony and cruelty are necessary to do that.

Flying was as necessary to my business as fiddles and footlights.

You may choose your words like a connoisseur, And polish it up with art, But the word that sways, and stirs, and stays, Is the word that comes from the heart.

Don't despair, not even over the fact that you don't despair.

You and I and everyone else have the attention span of gnats. And that means that saying or doing anything once simply doesn't work.

I think the world of you...and you know what condition the world is in today.

I take responsibility for myself and what I do now.

I got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay, a big stack of bills that gets bigger each day.

I'm not a hockey fan, which is probably why I had to leave Canada in the first place.
