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

Never undervalue the idea of partners. Understanding your strengths and then going out trying to find like-minded people who will be another pillar of your success.

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.

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.

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.

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.
