On snowboarding as an Olympic sport: Since I was 6 years old I've been in the mix and watching this grow and change. I never would have expected it to go this far.

I've always been a guy who wants to play sports, not watch them.

I'm on the road a lot so when I get some time to relax I definitely take advantage.

I didn't set out to beat the world; I just set out to do my absolute best.

I've always wanted to land a 1080, it's been a beast of a burden for me.

You can only jump so far until you break your leg. You can only land so hard until something explodes.

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