Kids get caught up in technical & electronic things like games & videos when all we had were magazines.

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.

Every question I'd ever had God answered and still continues to answer every one I have today. It's really amazing what God can do.

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?"

In God there is no hunger that needs to be filled, only plenteousness that desires to give.

Don't listen to people who say something isn't feasible. Just go out and do it.

He (the Bible study leader) is blessed with a light touch and a firm hand.

A successful man cannot realize how hard an unsuccessful man finds life.

My devil had been long caged, he came out roaring

Love and war, it seemed, worked by the same rules. One had to hurry, before the fires flared out.

When I get stuck, I take a long walk outside or go to a movie. I get out of my own way so I can hear the quiet voices that hold all of the answers that connect the dots.

Touring and putting out records is fun and cool, but I've been doing it for a long time.
