I have a good idea of how lucky we are to be growing up in Canada.

I feel proud to be a skater: it's taught me how to be emotional, more connected with myself, more mature, more understanding of my thoughts and the conversations I've had with myself.

I relate really well to individuals who have a career and explore other adventures outside of skating. That, to me, is fascinating.

I hope I can compete in one or two Olympics in my career. Of course I would like to win a medal, but just being there would be awesome.

Looking back, I'm surprised I had the nerve to do it, but I'm glad I did. Performing the songs and performing in film was just a part of my personality, just like football and boxing at one point in my life. I was able to lose myself in both of them, and that was a good feeling.

I don't ever remember wanting to do anything but coach. My dad obviously influenced me. But it wasn't because he sat there and drilled coaching stuff into our heads. We were on the bench keeping the scorebook and traveling with the team on weekends. It was such a great upbringing.

I went where the boys in the family went. We would shoot basketball. We would shoot guns. We'd play cards. We'd go fishing at the pond.

I kind of wanna be pro basketball, pro skateboarder.
