I have the '86 Haro Master that I built. It was the bike I wanted as a kid and couldn't afford, and I'm like, "I'm going to build that Haro and never ride it."

I just feel like all the things that I do in my life just make me feel like a grown-up kid. That's pretty much what I am.

I usually just wear black so my shoes and my socks are my rays of sunshine.

At an early age I told myself I would never quit skating, I would never quit riding BMX and being a motorcycle junkie. I just can't stop doing those things.

I do what I love for a living, and I also get to build BMX bikes in my spare time.

Even when I'm old and grey I'll probably be cruising around and bunny-hopping and stuff. In the words of the Descendents, "I don't want to grow up."

Skating is what got me into punk rock.

The extent of my personal BMX adventures were all [on] dirt tracks. But just the aesthetic of it that early-to-mid-'80s BMX is something that's just part of me.

I used to race at the YMCA in Crystal Lake, Illinois, they used to have a dirt track there, and there was also a track near Rockford, Illinois, that I would go to.

I was thinking about hitting races and stuff, but it's just, I think it's more of the era of when I was a kid and it just brings back memories. I gotta just chill and live in the past.

The character of good men and women encourage others to want to be better people.

Sport is one area where no participant is worried about another's race religion or wealth: and where the only concern is 'Have you come to play?'

It's very schizophrenic because I like a lot of very straight pop, like Small Faces, Stones, Kinks; and on the other hand, I like a lot of avant garde things.

The world is always ending; the exact date depends on when you came into it.

Where no one intrudes, many can live in harmony.

But you've got to have money for comfort, which obviously doesn't matter as much when you're young, but even so. I always like to bloody eat well and be warm. Have a drink when I want it.

Any legislator who says he doesn't see the downside hasn't done his homework

...and there was nothing to do except to wait and to hurt.

Theater is the most enriching and thrilling thing to do as an actor.

I had a classic case of what people call "seeker's disease." That was part of my journey, but now, meaning is like a secret that's revealing itself moment by moment, day by day.
