It's a pretty heavy thing that happens to me when I'm at competitions. I get so sucked in, I can't really turn it off.

I totally forget about snowboarding in the summertime.

I’m a big fan of doing what you are really bad at. A lot.

When the pressure's on, I always seem to go bigger and land everything better.

The Olympics are kind of weird. You have to be on a team. That's cool if you're a skier. But in snowboarding, you just want to be your own person.

Having the balance to be able to stay on the board in skating and surfing gives you all-around much better balance.

My friends ask me why I still live with my family, but I feel comfortable there. We've all been through so much together.
