I got to L.A. in 2000, when we were coming off the '90s: women looked like men and the men all looked like women.
Joe ManganielloI was happier going back to my roots: training like men do in my hometown of Pittsburgh. Back home the guys in the gyms don't lift to look good; they're lifting to lift. They do it because they want to squat more and bench more.
Joe ManganielloI come from classical theater training and when I went to college it was a bunch of kids that were hand-picked from around the world. I was around such brilliant young minds and incredible artists with incredible teachers.
Joe ManganielloI love walking around and grabbing coffee and sitting in a park and people watchingโฆ I love Greenwich Village.
Joe ManganielloI donโt think thereโs any such thing as male objectificationโฆI think that word exists only with women because there are societal pressures for them to behave a certain way and to look a certain way. Someone put it to me once: Women are sex objects and men are success objects. That was really interesting to me.
