"It's fun to ride at contests and stuff, but I have the most fun snowboarding when it's just me and my brother. Like, I went to Mammoth one day. There was an OK size jump and I was with Eddie Wall and my brother and we were just riding. I just said, 'Screw it!' and started doing cork Cab nines. I get so comfortable when I'm with people I like to ride with that I just start learning tricks. It's no problem, I'll learn it about the second try. Stuff like that just comes and I think that's so much fun when snowboarding's like that. But right now I'm facing what I got away from in snowboarding, like amateur contests. Trying to go through all that stuff in skateboarding that I already went through in snowboarding when I was younger. It's just that much harder. I hate it, just seeing the petty side of skateboarding. I see that kind of stuff in snowboarding all the time, but for me I thought skateboarding was perfect how it was. They just didn't have it. I showed up at a pro skate contest and a bunch of the vert skaters were like, 'What the hell is he doing here. I had to do the amateur contests, why doesn't he?' "
"Sure, I did a lot of things in excess. But if you look at the core, the foundation of what I pursued, who the fuck wouldn't? What red-blooded young American male in my position wouldn't? All the guys who criticize it would have done the same thing but probably would have died because they don't have the constitution I was cursed with. The most damage I did was to myself and to the people who got caught in the maelstrom."
"Indie, that was my radio station, so to speak. I think people are starting to really miss it and realize how special it was. And for me, taking the job, it got me out of a rut that I was always in. I'm pretty much an isolated person. I'd rather stay home and play video games. For me to go somewhere every day, it was the best thing for me as a human. It got me away from the madness in my head."
"I'll do anything if it's a good part. The only thing that freaks me out is total nudity. I'm fine as long as I can keep my G-string on but, without my G-string, I get nervous."
