Quotes
10 (1979) 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 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.
I found my love when I was 17 years old and my love is 100% honest. We've never had any ugly, rocky things to overcome.
Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping.
