I love everything I do and I can still remember the days of cashing my first royalty check for $2. I have such a great life, I'm proud of everything.

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

I live a pretty balanced life. As hard as I do work & as many things that I do... I take a lot of time to stay physically strong. I really just try to get the proper rest. I don't run myself into the ground.

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

A slam dunk or a breakdance move is limited by what the physical body can do. Now, a skateboard is limitless by design, by not only the dynamic of the board and the way it goes but also what you build to skate on. Basically it's like a slam dunk contest that will progress every for the life of the sport. Five years from now there are going to be kids doing stuff that we didn't think was possible.

You don't know where life's gonna take you. Sometimes it takes you getting carried out of a club and then into a booth as an apology for it.

You're better off owning 30 percent and having two amazing partners who compliment you and are equally as driven as you are than having 100 percent and only having one aspect of it, unless you're a super genius who is creative and business-minded at the same time.
