Ive always been a guy who wants to play sports, not watch them. – Shaun White
I always tell people that our sports arent that dangerous. – Shaun White
Getting into music has changed my personality and way of doing things. Im far more open now. – Shaun White
I remember thinking that Id way rather give my parents my money, and not have to like have them go to work anymore, you know what I mean. Because Id way rather spend more time with them. – Shaun White
Snowboardings tough, because youve got to go to the mountains. For me, I love the skateboard season because I get to hangout at home and still be skating. I dont have to travel to Norway or Japan or these crazy places to be snowboarding. – Shaun White
I wear black skinny-fit jeans – I cant get away from them. Its funny because I wore baggy jeans for ages, then one day my friend convinced me to try on a skinny pair and I thought they were great. – Shaun White
I cant stay away from Chinese food. I really love that stuff. – Shaun White
My friends ask me why I still live with my family, but I feel comfortable there. Weve all been through so much together. – Shaun White
Ive had dreams about tricks. – Shaun White
My dad, hes the rocker. – Shaun White
If you do a trick and it doesnt work out, that can stick with you. I like to go back, nail the trick, and, OK, Im cool, its all good. – Shaun White
You know the best thing about competition? Theres this whole strategy game, and when it all works out its like solving that hard math equation. You finally get the answer and youre so happy. – Shaun White
I think everybody can agree that you can hear a certain song and it will put you in a certain mood, and thats just the beauty of music and I am so inspired by that. – Shaun White
Im proud of the U.S.A. Weve done some amazing things. To wear our flag in the Olympics is an honor. – Shaun White
Everywhere I go I buy new music shirts. – Shaun White
I know my family and I would always go up to the mountains just for fun. We always skied. Then, all of a sudden, my brother started snow boarding. Older brother thing, I had to do what he was doing. So I started snow boarding. – Shaun White
My mom was a waitress, and my dad was a plumber who worked for the City of San Clemente fixing mains breaks, so not too glamorous. – Shaun White
My dad got me a huge board when I was little. He loves to surf. He suited me up and sent me out on this huge wave. I went under, and when I came out and the board hit me in the face. So I said, I never wanted to do this again. I stayed away until I was 13. – Shaun White
We all started snowboarding in the beginning as a family just to be closer together, go on trips. It was our soccer, but instead of Dad yelling at me from the sideline he is there riding with me and hitting the jumps even before I am hitting them. – Shaun White
What drives me now is the fact that I feel like I still have so many tricks that I want to learn and so many things that I can still do. And so many cool things outside of sports that I have been doing. – Shaun White
