I decided, if I'm going to be poor and black and all, the least thing I'm going to do is to try and find out who I am. I created everything about me.

Skateboarding has given me everything I have and created who I am.

I mean, if you decided to go out today and get you an instrument and do whatever it is that you do, no one can tell you how you're going to do it but when you do it.

I am a connoisseur of products. I check out everything, I try everything.

I am not someone who believes I am going to find a historical scoop.

'Shortcomings' was me figuring out who I am.
