Three things: Always look after your friends, respect everyone, and take shit from no one.
You ever read Catcher in the Rye? How 'bout any Haruki Murakami books? That's me, essentially.

"Skateboarders are serious about what they're doing, you know? They wouldn't let that slide. Like in school, a lot of times I think they let kids, uh, settle for less or like they teach kids, like, that it's alright to just... to just pass, but for a skateboarder it's not alright to just pass, you know? You want it perfect. You want to land it. You want to pop it up, catch it, you know what I mean? For us, the seat doesn't look right, I'm taking that seat off and putting a new seat on there, you know what I mean? That's what we're about. Like, perfection. Or like to make it our thing. To make it the best that we can make it. To do it the way we want to do it and to not have a teacher tell us that that's the way it should be."

"I can always look back on it and be proud not that the only reason I skate is because it's the only thing I love to do... I just did it, kept doing it, and that's it."
