“My entire life is a single body of work.”
“The way skateboarding contests were in the past was like going to a basketball game and being told at the end of the game what the score was and who won. Think about how unengaging that would be if you didn't know who was ahead or if it was a close game.”
“I am truly blessed to have been a part of the MTV family for so long.”
“In skateboarding, you're never bigger than the streets.”
“MTV has a been a great partner over the years. I'm truly grateful for the platform they've provided for me to create and refine compelling, entertaining media at the highest level.”
“I built a very methodical television show around my business. I learned how to use television as a platform to advertise products. I created a platform showcasing the stuff that I build. It's taking the integration model to another level.”
“With 'Fantasy Factory,' I want to take skating beyond the Tony Hawk generation and represent the street-skating generation.”

“For me, part of one my big movements is building authentic street environments for skateboarding.”
“Street League Skateboarding is the premier professional skateboarding league in the world, with the biggest prize money in history.”
“Without a doubt, Dana White is my biggest influence.”
“As a professional skateboarder, I can't look at anyone getting hurt - it freaks me out.”
“No one can fathom that the top 200 pro street skaters run from cops on the weekends and use a generator and lights to light up a handrail at 2 in the morning to get a trick that's going to be in an advertisement that will be shown around the world.”
“The serious professional skateboarder doesn't have a job. They get paid enough not to.”
“Half of my success is my fearlessness and recklessness - of just seeing the end and not stopping until you get there.”
“I don't think I've ever had a vacation, to be quite honest with you.”
“Justin Bieber, I love to death. He's such a cool, ridiculous, much crazier kid in real life - more than he's really allowed to be, because he's a Unicorn and very rare.”
“I've got some alien blood in me.”
“Skateboarding has given me everything I have and created who I am.”
“The mainstream thinks that every skateboarder aspires to be in the X Games.”
