To be considered a star is one thing, but to be embedded in the sidewalk with life passing over us, that for me is the best part of this honor. Five-inch heels, flip-flops, Birkenstocks, dropped ice cream cones, the odd tobacco squirt, baby carriages, roller blades, skateboards, wheelchairs –– bring it all on.

I am humbled by President Bush’s recognition of my work.
