I thought, you know the food and the diet thing is one way to start yourself onto a healthy lifestyle, but if you don't move, if you don't start exercising you're gonna deteriorate.

It doesn't matter if people perceive me as being a little strange. I think overall, even when I am on stage, when people see me, I am setting an example.

I went from 118 pounds to 135 pounds in a few months. But, I still didn't know anything about food.

The lights go down, you hear the applause and you're up there, and then everything else is forgotten.

I never used to drink water. I am drinking six liters of water every day now. That's the key.

And so there I was living in California from Brooklyn, New York, and it was this whole new world for me and I was meeting vegetarians. I thought, let me try this vegetarian thing. I got really into that.

It's easy to get four days a week of training in and I don't spend more than 55-60 minutes in the gym.
