If I signed a contract that meant someone else wouldn't be playing.

Everything that I'm really about is being an individualist. I believe in individuality.

I don't like to get too involved in the idea that "I'm a role model" and that everything I do is right. I don't think that's the case at all, but I think who I am at my core, and what I represent at my core, is something that is meaningful, and can be something that other people can gain inspiration from.

I feel like the best thing, as far as what I do with kids, is I treat them like human beings.

I always try to individualize everything, every person. I see individuals and that's why I've never fallen for racism, or any type or classification of people.

When I got sponsored, it symbolized a major change and a major shift in skateboarding.
