horse cities space
I grew up in New Mexico, and the older I get, I have less need for contemporary culture and big cities and all the stuff we are bombarded with. I am happier at my ranch in the middle of nowhere watching a bug carry leaves across the grass, listening to silence, riding my horse, and being in open space.
serious-person serious persons
I'm a very serious person.
homosexual knows
Most everyone now personally knows someone who is openly homosexual.
expression dressing-well manners
Dressing well is an expression of manners.
summer sunset light
Skin bathed in summer sunset light is sultry and sublime. Every woman looks irresistible in its glow-relaxed and sensual.
leader world moral
The U.S. used to be perceived as the moral leader of the world, and we have absolutely lost that.
emotional shy introverted
I'm actually very introverted. I'm very shy. I'm very emotional.
happy-life people world
You should put on the best version of yourself when you go out in the world because that is a show of respect to the other people around you.
parent environmental open-minded
If my parents had discouraged me, I would have turned out very differently. They raised me in an open-minded, liberal environment.
cheating tired wrinkles
I am tired of the cult of youth. The cultural rejection of old age, the stigmatization of wrinkles, grey hair, of bodies furrowed by the years. I am fascinated by Diana Vreeland, Georgia O’Keeffe and Louise Bourgeois, women who have let time embrace them without ever cheating. Society today condemns this, me, I celebrate it.
sound wonderful life-is
It's like everything in your life is wonderful, but you have so much wonderful - this is all going to sound horrible - but when you have so much wonderful, it isn't wonderful because you don't actually have time to enjoy it.
tantrums awful staff
I'm very direct. I don't have tantrums. I don't yell or shout. I do expect an awful lot from my staff, but no more than I expect of myself.
voice appreciate tough-times
I went through some tough times because if you're used to having a voice in contemporary culture and all of sudden, you don't have that voice, you don't have that outlet. I didn't appreciate that. I didn't understand how important that was to me. And all of a sudden, after investing all this time and energy, I had no identity. I didn't know who I was. I didn't know what I had to say. I didn't have a way to say it. It was very painful.
constantly
You never make it, especially in this industry where you constantly churn out stuff, things. You never finish.
