When I was younger, the pressure was just being cool. I never thought of myself as a cool guy. I always thought of myself as more of the goofy guy.

People are concerned over safety and spillage, especially for the workers. Were all really hopeful even though we remain deeply concerned over the safety and the efficacy of an unproven technology.

If you play with people who are better than you, then you get better.

I used to believe in one true soul mate, but not anymore. I believe you can have a few.

I'm really close to all of my family.

I sometimes struggle, because my job is like the antithesis of what surfing is all about. Surfing's simple. It's real.

Surfing soothes me, it's always been a kind of Zen experience for me. The ocean is so magnificent, peaceful, and awesome. The rest of the world disappears for me when I'm on a wave.
