Every time I've had a bad performance at an event, I've come back more determined and focused.

Getting into music has changed my personality and way of doing things. I'm far more open now.

Having all eyes on me at all times is hard to deal with, but it's great. It feels like you've already accomplished something. It's already predetermined that you're going to do well.

I get e-mails from mothers asking me to call their daughters for a date. I have a great life.

The boarding I do is pretty strenuous and because I'm so active I really don't have to work out too often.

My mom was a waitress, and my dad was a plumber who worked for the City of San Clemente fixing mains breaks, so not too glamorous.

When I came back to skating, everyone was like 'Oh you're the snowboard guy.'
