There is so much temptation to hold on to my career even more now. To try to micromanage and dictate every little aspect. But that's not how I want to do things anymore. I'm thinking about how can I trust God more. How can I surrender more? How can I bring him more glory? It's a fight. But it's one I'm going to keep fighting.
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said of course not. I said well I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.
Few things can help an individual more than to place responsibility on him and to let him know that you trust him.
Wherever we go across the Pacific or Atlantic we meet not similarity so much as 'the bizarre'. Things astonish us when we travel that surprise nobody else.
I grew up skateboarding it was fun. I didn't think about money I didn't know how much professional skateboarders made. I just knew that if I became a professional skateboarder I would achieve a lot and get to travel and do these great things.
I wanted to be looked at for the skateboarder that I was. I didn't want to be the 36-year-old skateboarder who's still holding on while owning a company at the same time. I wanted to make my mark and travel and accomplish a few things here and there and then get out.
If I had children I would be very selfish. I wouldn't be out doing things. But by not having kids it makes me freer to travel the world and talk about things I feel are important.
It's like this - because I travel so much I crave certain foods or certain things like from certain places that I've been.
You know the interesting thing about having traveled around the country as much as I have and I think it's sort of inadvertently what made me come out or at least begin doing things within the community and thinking more about that was that I get to travel quite a bit.
When you're an artist there's always a moment in your life when you think you're not inspired and instead of doing things and instead of travel and instead of falling in love you're just depressed so you don't move so you don't change. So you're not inspired.
If somebody asked me about my inspiration I would say that it's not the peopleand it's not the things it's travel and experiencing different environments.
I'm still at the end of my rope because I find myself not handling things well when I travel.
I could have probably raised them in L.A. and they would have been great and had so many things at their fingertips and been exposed to so many things. But we travel a lot so I don't think that moving out of town is sheltering the girls at all. Maybe protecting them a little bit more trying to prolong their youth.
Once you're in the game and it's a part of your life you never want to leave it. But you have to be committed to be able to travel and do the things you need to do to be successful in whatever role you're doing.
I have gotten to travel the world and experience all these incredible things thanks to my career.
I got the chance to do things that I dreamed of when I was a kid: I got to travel around the world I had my own 'Goosebumps' attraction at Disney World I've been on TV and had three TV series.
Shall we ever see the 10 million things of the universe simultaneously in order to be the all? I am convinced that to live is to travel towards the world's end.
What has happened to the good old-fashioned travel agent? I want to go to a really posh travel agent and have them organise everything for me. I don't want to do things on the Internet.
Each day as I travel through downtown Tucson I am amazed at how quickly the most ancient of human behaviors have changed. For as long as there have been Homo sapiens - roughly 200 000 years - people have filled their lives principally with two activities: talking directly with other people and doing physical things.
I really enjoy what I do and who I'm with and where I am. Having said that I'm not really a person of habit because what I do in my job is travel around the world and play concerts to people and occasionally do very weird things.
There are so many things I want to do. Like I want to get an artist a musician a photographer and a bunch of dancers that I know and just travel across Africa and just film it and just see what happens. Do and learn as much as I possibly can. Luckily I have a lot more time.
I think it's important that kids have responsibilities and understand the value of things but I think it's great I get to travel the world with my daughter.
When I travel I love speaking to women around the world about the things that inspire them the fashions they like what makes something good and what would make it even better.
People who don't travel cannot have a global view all they see is what's in front of them. Those people cannot accept new things because all they know is where they live.
