“Horses are a symbol of America and can be marketed that way overseas.”

I feel so fortunate. I was brought up along the beaches in Southern California, and then got to have horses.

I’m getting to the place where I can sort of go through airports now and there’s no hysteria. I can go places alone even. But at the same time, if you get in trouble, you can find somebody in your age group who might recognize you.

I found my love when I was 17-years-old and my love is one hundred percent honest. We’ve never had any ugly, rocky things to overcome.

In California, I guess you belong to the state; you don’t even belong to your parents. It’s an old Spanish law. It doesn’t require your parents to swear out a complaint; anybody can.

It’s so easy to conform and to follow. It’s very difficult to be rebellious and live by what you believe is right. And to make decisions and to take the consequences. Very few people do.

I love Spain. I go back two or three times a year usually to visit friends and ride horses.

I grew up on the beaches of Southern California surfing and sailing and I’ve always loved horses so it was part of my dream that I was able to fulfill to have horses.

10′ was amazing! I had no career before ’10’ and then all of a sudden I was able to do pretty much whatever I was able to do in the business.

I hate to run. I never, ever run.

Glorifying violence is terrible. Simulating sex is nothing – it’s something so impersonal really.

When you look at women who have had plastic surgery, they have lost something – usually an expression, something unique to their face.

When you trust your director completely, then you can relax, be spontaneous, be malleable.

I grew up on the beaches, and I always found it kind of funny that it’s considered decent if you cover three tiny spots with pieces of fabric.

You could be as vulgar as you want, as long as three tiny spots were covered.

Probably some of the projects I chose to do after that had more to do with what people thought of me. The industry was very open and probably hoping that I could do anything.

In the same way the lifted leg of an arabesque becomes a wing, and not a mechanical leverage like a raised trap door.

Jazz is not just music, it’s a way of life, it’s a way of being, a way of thinking.

The way things could be…and they should be, but they’re not.

It’s funny how the music industry is enraged about the Internet and the way things are copied without being paid for. But you know why people steal the music? Because they can’t afford the music.

To do something very common, in my own way.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

There is a way to be a woman, ask for what we deserve and be able to negotiate.

A funny thing happened on the way to my potential.
