If you're 14 and you're skinny, you can't be on the football team, basically. It's just not even really possible. But skating is something that you can do that gets that athletic urge satisfied, but you get to do it on your own terms. You can be as ballsy as you want to be. It was perfect for me.

Horrible dates are when you're with people who are immature and can't really be comfortable in their own skin.

My dad and I get into it all the time. He loves to discuss politics much more than I do and we have pretty heated conversations.

I really know so little about recording, and I'm learning as I go.

The love you have for your kids is so overwhelmingly powerful that it alters your perspective. The dark things going on in the world become very poignant and vivid.

I think perfect dates involve walking a lot, and not a bunch of driving around in cars. Ideally, you can walk together and go to a restaurant.
