Every time I walk down one of those red carpets, you think I'd be used to it after all these years, but it's like it's happening for the first time.

I always felt like the rug could be pulled out from under me at anytime. And coming from a racially mixed background, I always felt like I didn't really fit in anywhere.

So many people pass up older dogs, which is a shame. With an older dog, you know what you are getting.

Sometimes I think I am still that 5-year-old girl playing with her dogs in the yard. That's how I see myself.

I've had a guide dog since 1969. Not the same one, of course: I've had five.

I'm old enough to know that a red carpet's just a rug, and I've been able to enjoy the pageantry without letting it go to my head.

Since I was 15 I've felt kinda like... an old man.

I can't believe I've turned into a typical old man.

In high school I was the dog, always, and I never have felt comfortable or right in my body, and part of my whole exhibitionist thing has probably been a way of testing to see whether or not I really was this repulsive creature that I felt like for so long.

The rugs that I picked out and the pillows with the little owls, sort of like whimsical throw pillows - I feel like you can never enough whimsical throw pillows in your house, in your life. My husband probably disagrees.
