They told me I'd have to be there for the entire shooting of the movie which was two and a half months and again, I was surprised. Most movies I'd worked on before took only a day or so, so I realized this was a pretty big deal. I got to the set and was involved in a very integral way, which was a fun experience to be a part of.

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

I'm not going to beat somebody up for talking smack to me, especially another skater.

I strive to do my best every single time and I think that's something the skate community knows about me and appreciates.

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

If someone told me I had to give back, or I'm supposed to give back, or I'm supposed to do these things, I would reject that. My actions are those of valuing and caring.
