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 irony about selling out is that they only call you a sell-out when your stuff finally sells - I've had products bearing my name since I was 14, but nobody was buying them then.

Skateistan's not just about skating. It’s giving people life skills and hope for the future.

Snowboarding is a spawn of skating, and skating is my passion.

I love the fact that there is now a skate park in almost every city, but it will always have a rebellious/underground edge to it because it is based on individuality.

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.

My definition of success is doing what you love. I feel many people do things because they feel they have to, and are hesitant to risk following their passion.
