What does it mean to be a snowboarder? It's about having fun, with your friends or by yourself. It's about pushing yourself to try new things and do the unexpected. Finally, and most importantly, it's about being creative.

I am a pretty recognizable, like, I walk through the airport or something, you are going to spot me right away.

I think fans can tell if you just slap a skateboarder on a game - you can't fool kids.

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

When I'm on planes, I'd talk to people and I'd tell them I compete in the X Games. Some would know what it was, but maybe half didn't. But everyone knows about the Olympics. They're really like the X Games for the world!

I love the sport of snowboarding so much, but I just don't want to talk about it, ever.

Whenever I do a deal I always have the right of approval.
