Do you ever feel that having all the responsibilities of having a company take away from your skating?<\/strong>
\nSometimes, but then again I work \u2018til 4 a.m.<\/p>\n

When you were growing up, were parents and friends supportive of you skating or did they think it was a phase?<\/strong>

Are you a vegan, vegetarian or a carnivore?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m not a rabbit, so I eat meat, but no pork.<\/p>\n

What is going on with your shoe collection?<\/strong>
\nI add more every day. I have a few thousand shoes but I\u2019m running out of room space.<\/p>\n

Are you trying to break a world record for most shoes owned?<\/strong>
