Life has played some funny tricks on me and taken me on a wild ride. How did I ever get into this wonderful mess that is my life?

I love horses. I spent seven years as a racing commissioner on a horse-racing board.

I was alone for five years. Having a love is a gigantic bonus in life, but I wasn't unhappy when I was single, either.

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.

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.

With or without horse slaughter, horse rescues need our help and support. That can involve financial donations, volunteering, or even donating items like brushes and blankets. Horse rescues operate with little money, so every little thing you can do to help goes a long way.

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