"I'm pretty comfortable with the image I have now. People generally know me for my skating, and I think that's really the way I want to keep it. I'm not trying to be something I'm not. This is who I am when I wake up in the morning, and I'm comfortable just being myself. Like, I used to be into wearing all black and stuff like that, but I probably won't be going out and getting full tattoos overnight."
"Haters come out of the wood work! They spread hate about you, your family and your friends like mad. That is a very new to me. I just can’t figure out why people hate on people they don’t know."
"In my downtime, I try to catch up as much as possible with hanging out with my friends and stuff like that. I go to the movies, ride my dirtbike, and surf. On a Friday night, I like to drive around town with my homeys, find stuff to do. I like being home and trying to take advantage of it as much as possible. I like being a part of the scene in San Clemente, so that's pretty much what I'm out doing when I get a chance. This year has been crazy, though. I haven't been home much."
"Skateboarding is my life. I do it because I love it. I can honestly say that not a day goes by, rain or shine that I don’t do something on my skateboard."
“If I can nail a 360-flip lipslide down the gnarliest rail, with millions of people watching, why cant i just get a girlfriend?”
"Girls take four hours to get ready. We skate, sweat, shower, go!"
"It shouldn't be hard for me to find a girl, but it shouldn't be hard for me to find a legit girl, and she needs to be chill, and hot, preferably blonde."
"Holler at your boy!"
"If you go out there and your main purpose is to get a sponsor, then it's not gonna work. Just go out there and have fun. That's how I got sponsored. I never even made a "sponsor me" tape. I was just skating and wasn't even thinking about getting sponsored and it all kind of fell into place."
"You look up to everybody. All these guys are my heros, and then here I am skating right there next to them all the time. It's rad."
"If I were not skateboarding for a living I would definitely have been deeply involved in motocross."
"I always like dressing up to go out at night. Well-dressed girls are awesome to me. I don't know why, but I like a girl with a sense of style."
