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

I grew up with heroes, people who made me aspire to raise my game, to dream bigger and I like to keep it that simple.

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

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.

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

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.

Kids at skate parks will step up and challenge me to a game of Skate, but I'm over that, I really don't care. I'm all about participating, and I'm all about being a part of this scene, but there's certain vibes I just don't get along with.
