My gift is execution; when I decide I'm going to do something, I'll stop at nothing to do it. Along the way, you take a lot of risks and go for it, but you have to believe in it. You gotta believe in your idea, and lucky for me, I found a lot of success in that.

EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS A FANTASY UNTIL YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE IT A REALITY.

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.

One thing about everything that I've done is it's so diverse and all over the place, from doing crazy stunts that I can't believe that I've done to launching professional skateboard leagues to all types of different business stuff and television shows. To me, I'm real proud of the body of work, that I've done as opposed to one thing specifically.

In all aspects of life, it's always much funner when you surround yourself with people you enjoy being around.

No one gives you anything in life. You gotta work hard and go after it to get it.

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