I'm not an artist or a collector. I'm a skateboard kid with no one to tell me if I'm not doing things the right way.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Skateboarding has given me everything I have and created who I am.
Figure skating is not a hobby. It's my work, which I want to do, and do well.
I grew up skateboarding, but I don't even do that anymore.
Actually, I've always wanted to be a professional skateboarder ever since I was about six.
No matter what I do, how much money I make, where I live, or what kind of car I drive, the stuff I skateboard on is the same stuff that every other kid in L.A., every kid in the country, everybody in the world is skateboarding on.
I have some beautiful 20th-century drawings and a few paintings, but I'm not a collector, and I'm not particularly attached to objects.
To some extent I happily don't know what I'm doing. I feel that it's an artist's responsibility to trust that.
I am not an artist. I am a craftsman.
I park two blocks away from Nickelodeon studios and I hop on my skateboard and I skateboard the rest of the way to the studio.
If only the people around you know you're an artist, then you're doing something wrong.
