When I was 12 years old, I was hanging out with 23-year-olds. I was into cartoons and Pokemon, and they're all talking about girls. It was a strange way to grow up.

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'm really disappointed at every event if I don't do less than what I wanted to do.

I'd love to compete in the Summer Olympics.

I can kind of picture what I want to do and my body just does it. You feel your way through a trick. I close my eyes sometimes.

I knew there was a certain level that I could get to within the sporting world. But as I continued with my career, not only did I grow, but the sport grew. All of a sudden, all of these doors opened to me. It's been amazing. I guess I was born at the right time.

Surfers have the most attitude.
