I Do Not Consider Myself

I Have Stuff From 1979, 1980 In My Collection. But I Also Have Things From 2012. So I Don't Know If It's Memorabilia As Much As It Is Holding On To Things That I Find Relevant That Most People Might Not.

I Always Appreciate When People Save, And More Importantly, Share. As We Speak, There Are People In This World - Mostly Men - Who Have Giant Collections Of Recordings That No One Will Ever Hear. And The Value Of That Collection Is Almost Defined By The Fact That Nobody Else Can Hear It.

I Think It's My Nature To Engage In Things That Are More Difficult.

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.

Every Song I Ever Wrote, I Wrote To Be Heard. So, If I Was Given A Choice That 50 Years From Now I Could Either Have A Dollar Or Knowing That Some Kid Was Listening To My Song, I'd Go With The Kid Listening To My Song.
