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've reached my goal with snowboarding.

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

I mean, I get letters in the mail because I had a heart defect when I was one, I had surgeries and stuff. And so you get these letters in the mail that just, they are crazy, they are just like, yes, well our son is dealing with the same thing and we saw you on TV and I mean it is such a cool thing to inspire and kind of give hope.

I want to perform well.

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

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.
