I desire to have a dialogue that's positive, and communicative and moves forward, and is about something real, not just consumption.

There's a lot of time when skaters think they know everything because they've seen videos of you, and seen you on TV or the internet, and there's ways of throwing jabs and being inconsiderate and not having your manners.

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

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

What I do is I take action because I value the position I have, the career I have, the life I live, the people I interact with, my fanbase, my friends, however you want to say that. I value those relationships and I use the opportunities they present to me.

I understand that these people are all there to see me ride, that that's why they're in the building, and whether I have ten people, or a thousand people come out to see me, they still came out to see me, and I take that to heart.

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.
