I couldn't do my homework if my room wasn't clean. And it has carried on now that I am older, in a very freakish way.

My dad got me a huge board when I was little. He loves to surf. He suited me up and sent me out on this huge wave. I went under, and when I came out and the board hit me in the face. So I said, I never wanted to do this again. I stayed away until I was 13.

I am a pretty recognizable, like, I walk through the airport or something, you are going to spot me right away.

If you do a trick and it doesn't work out, that can stick with you. I like to go back, nail the trick, and, 'OK, I'm cool, it's all good.'

I'd like to date, but I'm not really in a position to meet girls.

Skateboarding is a way to let your body control the mind.

I wasn't your average kid. I was signing autographs in Japan at 12.
