Big decisions in my life have always come easy and are made without hesitation. It is easier for me to make a life-changing decision than to decide what to get for dessert.

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

Most of my friends are skaters or were skaters at one time, so they obviously relate.

I played team sports, but I never felt like I fitted in that well, so this allowed me to be part of a community but to do it in my own way.

I consider skateboarding an art form, a lifestyle and a sport. 'Action sport' would be the least offensive categorization.

I feel like skateboarding is as much of a sport as a lifestyle, and an art form, so there's so much that that transcends in terms of music, fashion, and entertainment.

I think skateboarding is hugely challenging - it teaches you self-confidence, it teaches you self-motivation, and it can be something that helps you throughout your life.
