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

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

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.

My father actually lived next door to Hobie Alter [creator of the Hobie catamarans]. So growing up, we had prototypes and experimental things that we could play with; it was just fabulous. I actually bought my first surfboard in junior high. I saved my money.

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

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