What does it mean to be a snowboarder? It's about having fun, with your friends or by yourself. It's about pushing yourself to try new things and do the unexpected. Finally, and most importantly, it's about being creative. - 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
What's really good is I'm riding really badly today. It's actually great because when I have a bad day it means I'm going to have a good day tomorrow. - Shaun White
When kids come up to me and say. 'I want to be like you,' it fires me up. It's pretty cool. - Shaun White
You just get your skateboard and you go out in the street and you figure it out and you have fun with your friends. - Shaun White
You know the best thing about competition? There's this whole strategy game, and when it all works out its like solving that hard math equation. You finally get the answer and you're so happy. - Shaun White
You take a crash, you get back up and next time you succeed and that's a great feeling. - Shaun White
Confronting a stadium audience, you can’t see the whites of their eyes. It’s just an amorphous mass of noise and, of course, you can’t see the alleged billions watching at home either, so the degree to which you are intimidated is quite low. - Rowan Atkinson
Get that right, then- if you get the quality right, then the marketability or whatever; your ability to sell videos or your ability to earn money or whatever, will follow naturally. But try to be creatively lead rather than market lead. And that’s important to me. - Rowan Atkinson
Have to say that I’ve always believed perfectionism is more of a disease than a quality. Do try to go with the flow but I can’t let go. - Rowan Atkinson
I enjoy racing historic motorcars from the ’50s and ’60s. The seed of my interest was planted when I was about 12 years old and took over my mother’s Morris Minor. I drove it around my father’s farm. But my favorite car is still a McLaren F1, which I have had for 10 years. - Rowan Atkinson
I have always regarded Mr. Bean as a timeless, ageless character, and I would rather he be remembered as a character mostly in his 30s and 40s. - Rowan Atkinson
I mean I can do it when I’m very relaxed, and with good friends, then I think I can be amusing. - Rowan Atkinson
I think I have an inner confidence that my tastes are pretty simple, that what I find funny finds a wide audience. I’m not particularly intellectual or clever or minority-focused in my creative instincts. And I’m certainly not aware of suppressing more sophisticated ambitions. - Rowan Atkinson
I would return to the Blackadder character if the opportunity came up. I have no qualms about that at all. - Rowan Atkinson
I’m very good at having time off. I tend to take whole years off — I had 1994 and 1997 off. I find it very easy; I just love pottering around doing normal things. - Rowan Atkinson
Monty Python crowd; half of them came from Cambridge, and half of them came from Oxford. But, there seems to be this jewel, this sort of two headed tradition of doing comedy, of doing sketches, and that kind of thing. - Rowan Atkinson
Mr. Bean is at his best when he is not using words, but I am equally at home in both verbal and nonverbal expression. - Rowan Atkinson
Mr. Bean is essentially a child trapped in the body of a man. All cultures identify with children in a similar way, so he has this bizarre global outreach. - Rowan Atkinson
