I went through a lot of pretty intense struggles in my life, through my head injury, whether it was mental or psychological.

When I was young, kids who were more Native American than me would call me 'white boy.' To my white friends, I was 'that Indian kid.'
I've already told so many people my stories.
God saved my life.
Some people just don't understand people who eat meat and ride animals.
I would truly risk my life to keep doing what I love.
You cannot break a horse until they're about 2 years old. You can halter-break them, meaning teach them how to lead and stuff, if you choose to, but you can't really break them until they're 2 because there aren't developed enough, you know what I mean? It would be like a 5-year-old playing football or something, you know?
I'm not that educated in filmmaking.
Not everybody's life is a movie.
I've worked with horses since I was a little kid.
I think about rodeo every day. I miss it. It's what gave me purpose.
Sioux was always a horse culture, especially the Lakota Sioux. My mom is from Pine Ridge Indian Reservation; my dad is from a Sioux Indian reservation. Both tribes are Lakota.
I'm a cowboy and an Indian.
I don't think you're very strong unless you've cried a few tears. You've never really lived.
My part of the world - it's like time forgot it almost.
When a horse offers their face to you, they're interested in what you are, what you're doing. They're paying attention.
My wife and I started a breeding program where we breed American quarter horses.
Horsemanship and the cowboy lifestyle and my culture as a Native American are all three things that are very, very important to me.
I've always been up for a challenge, and you gotta connect with the camera and the audience the same way you gotta connect with the horse.
I was baptized Catholic, but I don't - I'm just a Christian. Anybody that has any room to judge any other Christian isn't very Christian to begin with.
Something good always comes from something bad.
After my head injury, I was, like, bipolar, an emotional wreck.
My dad - I mean, we've had our ups and downs, you know, just like any father and son probably has. But, you know, we get along really good, honestly.
A horse, you know, they can't say, 'Hi? How are you? I'm so-and-so,' you know? So they communicate through typically smelling or, you know, just body language. And when a horse approaches another horse, the first thing they do is they smell noses.
I have horrible headaches three or four times a week easily. I get really dizzy in the heat; my headaches are worse in the heat when I'm working and stuff.
