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

I have no ethics when it comes to art. You just do what you can to make it as beautiful as you can.

I was a regular dork. I was a kid who was scrawny and all that, and probably kind of dumb or something. I wasn't unordinary; I wasn't extraordinary.

There's something artistic about skating. A psychologist could tell you exactly why that is, but I think there's something much more expressive that gives you a lot of room for unique and individual expression.
