"Skateboarding is not a hobby. And it is not a sport. Skateboarding is a
way of learning how to redefine the world around you. For most people,
when they saw a swimming pool, they thought, ‘Let's take a swim.' But I
thought, ‘Let's ride it.' When they saw the curb or a street, they would
think about driving on it. I would think about the texture. I slowly
developed the ability to look at the world through totally different
means."
