best freedom
A place of freedom is the best place to have the most creativity.
days jeans occasions spend suits tank trainer wear
As for my personal style, I like comfort a lot, like jeans and T-shirts. Having been a trainer for so long, I spend a lot of my days in tank tops, shorts, and T-shirts. Still, I do like the occasions where I get to wear suits and make that a thing.
athletic bunch eighth grade prize school won
I wasn't athletic as a kid, and I was self-conscious about my body, but then in eighth grade I won a school contest, and the prize was a bunch of personal training sessions.
fitness love married people romance stage
I know some people who are like, 'I love fitness,' and I feel like if you have to say that, you're still in the romance stage. I'm in the stage where I've been married to it for 60 years, and I don't think I'll ever get a divorce.
ranked weight won
In 2010, I was ranked top 50 in the deadlift in three different weight classes, and I won my first natural bodybuilding competition.
people photos tend
I tend to be shy in asking people for photos - other actors that I really like and admire.
grew
I grew up in Chelsea on 22nd Street... I am really a native New Yorker.
embrace great humor learning strange
I never particularly thought of myself as great with girls. I can be awkward, and I have a strange sense of humor at times. But I've also been learning to try and embrace that.
chick funny good honestly love
I honestly love any good chick flick, as long as it's a good movie or pretty funny. 'Love Actually' is a no-brainer.
addition interests love stuff telling
I love the stuff that makes you laugh and cry. It kind of sucker-punches you a little bit. That's the thing that most interests me as a performer, in addition to telling the most captivating story.
camp early great plays school
I feel like my early experiences of acting, and I think a lot of other actors' too, are probably at camp or school plays where you get to have great range. At camp, I remember getting to play a 50-year-old man.
dudes
I'd feel weird on a show where it was a bunch of dudes that are my type. I like sticking out a little.
distance thinking poison
I've had to realize I need to distance myself a bit from relying on the feedback. I think it's wonderful but can also be poison. You don't want to buy into it too much.
nice character thinking
It's rewarding for me to have people know me as two very different characters. I think when you see people as one character, you expect that they are like that character. So it's nice to be able to throw people for a loop a little bit.
