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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
