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.

Games have always a big part of my life. I was that kid freaking out over his new Nintendo.

The hardest thing about skateboarding is consistency: The slightest flick of your foot or gust of wind can send your board flying, so it's really anybody's game out there.

If you're going off a 90-foot jump, you can't say: 'Oh, I don't want to do this now.' You're going no matter what.

If you think I've got a lot of sponsors, you should see the stuff I turn down.

Now that I have the knowledge and I can speak to programmers better and I understand a lot more about what's possible and what's not possible, this will all help with the next game.

I'm proud of the U.S.A. We've done some amazing things. To wear our flag in the Olympics is an honor.
