I think the way to become the best is to just have fun.

I didn't set out to beat the world; I just set out to do my absolute best.

You can only jump so far until you break your leg. You can only land so hard until something explodes.

I'd love to compete in the Summer Olympics.

You show up at the Olympics, and you're no longer you; you're an American Olympian. You're part of this greater whole, and the individual doesn't matter.

I've always wanted to land a 1080, it's been a beast of a burden for me.

On snowboarding as an Olympic sport: Since I was 6 years old I've been in the mix and watching this grow and change. I never would have expected it to go this far.
