This is a unique legal loophole in the U.S.: If a non-native comes on a reservation and commits any crime, the non-native should be prosecuted by a federal court. Tribal law can arrest and hold someone for a year, but tribal law cannot prosecute non-natives. So since the federal courts are so overloaded, some of the cases get tossed out.Collection: Legal
My mom's an artist in every way. She's a painter, a photographer. She's a wanderer - always searching, always seeing. I guess you could say my mom gave me her eyes.Collection: Mom

When I did play team sports, I was into soccer and hockey. I loved hockey. And then rock climbing became the thing that got me out of Iowa, and I traveled the world for rock climbing.

You paint something, and it's yours. It's your heart up on the wall.

Most people don't know who I am in the industry. I'm far from 'Conan' and 'Game of Thrones.'
I think I was pretty reckless and definitely a bit out of control. Now, I'm more focused.
My kids are always like, 'Why do people always want to take pictures with you?' and I'm like, 'Because I'm your Dada, and you're my daughter. That's why.' It's definitely mostly because of 'Game of Thrones.'

I want it to be the greatest thing I ever do: make good humans.
If you're too disciplined, it can mess up your mind. You need to have that treat for yourself.
There's a lot of things I would definitely go to bat for in Hawaii. I've been all over that stuff. If someone told me to be quiet about that because of my profession, no. That's my people.
