When I was young, I would go to the races and it was an unbelievable feeling when you'd watch them race.
I get so bummed when I have to return the clothes I'm lent. It's easy to feel so special, but like Cinderella, you lose your shoes.
The feeling of support I got was pretty overwhelming. That energy and optimism was something I had been missing and didn't even know it.
I always see America as really belonging to the Native Americans. Even though I'm American, I still feel like a visitor in my own country.
