As a professional skateboarder, I can't look at anyone getting hurt - it freaks me out.

The reality of professional skateboarding contests is that they're not relevant in our world.

The serious professional skateboarder doesn't have a job. They get paid enough not to.

For me, part of one my big movements is building authentic street environments for skateboarding.

In L.A., I was meeting people who were all actors. My mind started to open up to what acting was. I didn't realize that Brad Pitt was a real person. I didn't think he was a robot or a machine, but I thought you were just born into acting - that it's a family tree, kind of like NASCAR. No one can just say, 'Hey, I'm going to be a NASCAR driver.'

My dogs are family dogs.

Most children threaten at times to run away from home. This is the only thing that keeps some parents going.

I like spending time away with the family.
