Chrome Ball Incident just dropped a comprehensive interview with J. Lee that focuses on his skate career. It’s coupled with a good deal of the iconic photography from those wonder years; and, in case you were wondering, Lee still credits skateboarding as the catalyst for everything that he’s accomplished after.
What does skateboarding mean to you in the wake of a far more lucrative acting career?
Well, the lucrative thing doesn’t really matter.
Skateboarding was just always the catalyst for everything else. It’s responsible for everything I am as a creative person. It has shaped both who I am and how I think.
It’s certainly the most important thing that’s ever happened to me. It really is. And I owe everything to skateboarding, without a doubt.
Once a skater, always a skater, right? Read the entire interview here.
