I'm having a blast using the gifts and talents that God has given me as a platform to minister to people and love them and shine the light that He wants me to shine.

I think I was around 15 when my Dad was 40 and thought, "Man he's old. There's no way I'll be skating at that age."

God always puts somebody in your life at the right moment.

I was literally living on the edge of life, to the point where I didn't know what was going to happen, not caring, taking chances and finally landing in prison and once there, all my lines were cut.

When skateboarding hit, I wanted to be best skateboarder in the world, and I fought for it, there was nothing that was going to get in my way.

I love the Lord with my life and through that love, I walk the walk, I don't just talk the talk.

I had people telling me I was the best and when it would sink in, I'd feel like I'd have to push things further, otherwise I wasn't worthy of their praise.

I read the different translations of the Bible they had and really just dove into it, almost so I could prove it all right.

I spent five years in prison, a free man for the first time in my whole life.

I won contest after contest until finally I realized, "Ok, I am the best in the world, but now what?" So I opened my own company, but there was still that feeling of, "What else do I need to do?"

Sometimes we love with nothing more than hope. Sometimes we cry with everything except tears.

I know I'm strong, and that's good.

Material Girl is about having your own personal style, and my personal style reflects the brand's aesthetic.

I want to be the most durable person on the planet.

If you set a good example you need not worry about setting rules.

My first real breakthrough collided with the last months of Callaghan's Labour government, which had every intention of enjoying my success as much as I did.
