Games have always a big part of my life. I was that kid freaking out over his new Nintendo. - Shaun White
Having all eyes on me at all times is hard to deal with, but it's great. It feels like you've already accomplished something. It's already predetermined that you're going to do well. - Shaun White
Having the balance to be able to stay on the board in skating and surfing gives you all-around much better balance. - Shaun White
I am a pretty recognizable, like, I walk through the airport or something, you are going to spot me right away. - Shaun White
I can kind of picture what I want to do and my body just does it. You feel your way through a trick. I close my eyes sometimes. - Shaun White
I didn't know if I would get the gold, I just knew I wanted it. This is the best year of my life, I'm so happy my whole family's here. I know I won't have this again. It's amazing, everybody's having such a good time. - Shaun White
I don't even think I've made the finals in the U.S. Open. It's just been a cursed event for me. I didn't really want to come. I was nervous because last time I hurt my knee when I was here. ... To overcome all that, and to actually win it, it's insane. - Shaun White
I don't know, I think, in times where I'm really nervous, and I'm really under the pressure the worst possible outcome is for me to start thinking about it. I just do. - Shaun White
I get e-mails from mothers asking me to call their daughters for a date. I have a great life. - Shaun White
I had a cab driver that was so happy and excited to give me a ride that, when I got out to pay him, he got out and gave me a hug. (The fame) has gotten a little crazy, but I love it. I think it's cool. - Shaun White
I knew there was a certain level that I could get to within the sporting world. But as I continued with my career, not only did I grow, but the sport grew. All of a sudden, all of these doors opened to me. It's been amazing. I guess I was born at the right time. - 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
I like being able to have things that identify you in a brand without blatantly showing a logo. - Shaun White

I mean, I get letters in the mail because I had a heart defect when I was one, I had surgeries and stuff. And so you get these letters in the mail that just, they are crazy, they are just like, yes, well our son is dealing with the same thing and we saw you on TV and I mean it is such a cool thing to inspire and kind of give hope. - Shaun White
I think it's going to be a kind of a party night. I'm not much of a drinker, but I think I might be old enough to drink in Italy. - Shaun White
I was so stoked I got it out early. I was nervous because I fell on the first hit of my first run, but I didn't care that much because I knew I had a better run in me. I practiced this run before and made it really sketchy. I was barely hanging on, but it just came together for me tonight. It seems to happen in contests for me. - Shaun White
