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

There are some key elements to business being a success, and that's a smart visionary and great management behind the people that are going to build it.

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.

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.

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.

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.
