I totally forget about snowboarding in the summertime.

Some people attach snowboards to their feet, very few attach them to their souls.

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.

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 get up each morning and do what you can to survive. Nothing else is true, and nothing else matters.

The idea of "race" represents one of the most dangerous myths of our time.

People who are isolated interest me, whether they isolate themselves or have been isolated by circumstances.

I was made to be a perfectionist at everything I did. Everything was more important than what I wanted.

Sometimes there are certain things that you gotta grow into. Sometimes, for some actors, they know it spiritually at a young age. Others need to grow into it.

It's a challenge to work a character's arc into a format in which you only have a very limited amount of time to grow and develop a character.

Innocence is ashamed of nothing.

To be exact has naught to do with pedantry or dogma.

Ideas are spiritual, harmonious and eternal

Nonsense! It is said that the West had a global policy in regard to Islam. That is stupid. There isn't a global Islam.
