I wanted to promote skateboarding as much as possible through different media.

The biggest lesson I learned from my dad is to support children even if they're doing something that is unorthodox.

I won't quit skating until I am physically unable.

I'm proud that I was able to use my recognition to, maybe, raise the awareness of skateboarding and help grow it, and to help fund public skateparks. That's the legacy, just trying to grow the entire sport.

For those that say I endanger my child: it's more likely that you will fall while walking on the sidewalk than I will while skating with my daughter.

Being different is awesome! All of those who are different are more interesting than those who are clamoring for acceptance because they follow the path.

You might not make it to the top, but if you are doing what you love, there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous.
