Learning a [skateboard] trick is kind of like a puzzle; you have to keep trying, and trying, and trying, and adapting and changing, and adapting and changing, and finally it works.

Half of my success is my fearlessness and recklessness, of just seeing the end and not stopping until you get there.

I had to learn the hard way. There was a blindness, without any education or will or drive. Everything I started in the beginning from skate shops to record labels to a million and one side hustles that I went in without knowing how I was going to do it, a lot of those ventures just went out of business.

In life some people trip and some fall but some take that trip and make a beautiful dance out of it.

If I liked an idea, even slightly, I would throw some money at it. I've had a lot of random things not work out that people don't know about.

For me, I'm a skateboarder.If I'm not skating then I'm going crazy. The big deals, if I'm not skating, it's not worth it.

Take this wealth and this fame, always stay humble, keep your family close, and do ridiculously crazy things.
