I always tell people that our sports aren't that dangerous.

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

It's tough now to meet a girl who wants to hang out with you because she likes your personality - who hasn't seen you on TV and is like, 'Hey!'

I was sponsored when I was about seven by Burton Snowboards.

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 guess I'm an athlete now. I gotta start going to the gym.

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.
