“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.

It’s human to lose your way. It’s human to feel out of control.

Yet love can move people to act in unexpected ways and move them to overcome the most daunting obstacles with startling heroism.

No amount of stress and disruption is worth taking me back to a place I prayer my way out of. I’ve come a long way.

I need to remind myself all the time that being afraid of things going wrong, is not the way to make things right. All fear has ever done is try destroy any existing hope I have.

While I am training, I don’t go out for events, so rest days, in a way, take away that time. Apart from that, I just stay at home and rest, maybe relax at home and spend time with family.

The best way to avoid a hangover is to stay drunk.

You win some and lose some. It’s all part of the game. You have to take it in a very positive way.

The bureaucracy always goes with the way politicians go.
