I would never go to a gym. How could I do it? So I tried to do it in my house and it doesn't work.

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.

The health industry, the fitness industry, was really starting to pick up. This was around the mid 80's.

I love the life of a musician but I live the life of a bodybuilder.

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.

But the business side of it, as with most creative things, there is no room for business. It is about art. It's not about marketing.

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.
