I can't skateboard. I don't know how to do that!

I just skated for the fun of it.

There is sort of an unspoken 'no skateboarding' clause on tour that I break pretty often.

I generally like white skates.

Usually the thing that signifies that I'm done with the winter and all that is that I start skateboarding.

Life is a lot like skateboarding.

I want to be a full-package skater.

I want to do with skates what Fred Astaire is doing with dancing.

I have never been the stereotypical figure skater.

It's been said that, while growing up, I ate meals with my skates on. It's true.

I actually had a Bobby Orr action figure. You could put the pads on him and skates and all that. I was 7, and he was still playing.

I've been wearing Vans since I was a little kid. I wear them on stage, and I grew up skateboarding and surfing.

And I'm not very coordinated, either. Only on ice skates, not in real life.

When I was a kid, everywhere I went people said I should be a model, but I was more into skateboarding.

When I was growing up, skateboarding was big and basketball was big.

I had a really lovely upbringing. I did a lot of skateboarding down country lanes.

Kate Upton is curvy and nervy.

The Orioles' Dick Hall comes off the mound like a drunk kangaroo on roller skates.

Skaters are infamously superstitious.

As skateboarding evolved, it evolved away from competition. Having a best-trick contest doesn't work.
