One of my biggest influences growing up was Jamie O'Brien. He was like an older brother to me.

I still get scared every time I go out. I get scared taking off; I get scared on the wave, falling, everything. But, you know, growing up with it, I guess you're a little more comfortable.

In the past, I had these really high-tech boardshorts.

I think winning the world tour events is pretty special. They're just so hard to win.

Success is nothing if you don't have the right people to share it with; you're just gonna end up lonely.

I worked half my life to be an overnight success, and still it took me by surprise.

The fact that I've lived this long is not really an achievement. Time passes; we age... it's natural. This is why it annoys me when a person watches a movie and tells me that it was 'time pass.' Would time not have passed if he hadn't watched the film?

The free market for mobile devices and wireless service has been a dramatic success.
