 Fortunately, I was still living in Los Angeles at the time. So I went out to World Gym and got a membership. |
| 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. |
| I'm doing it by enjoying what I do in the gym, really enjoying my foods. |
| It is a career that can be enhanced or destroyed by success. |
| Most of the hotel gym's are not adequate. I mean you might be able to train your arms, but you aren't going to be able to train legs, back, or even chest if they don't have dumbbells and benches. |
| 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. |
| You know, there have been a lot of casualties in rock-n-roll. |
| The health industry, the fitness industry, was really starting to pick up. This was around the mid 80's. |
| Plus, we spend most of our time writing music. Most of the time is spent in the studio in my house. |
| 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. |
| Yeah, about sixteen to twenty weeks a year. For example, we can do America in six or seven weeks. You can do Europe in three weeks; England in two weeks. South America you could do in three weeks; Asia you could do in three weeks. |
| Missing Persons was based in Los Angeles. |
| I have had shoulder injuries in the past, but usually it's from training. |
| The lights go down, you hear the applause and you're up there, and then everything else is forgotten. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Yeah, I came in at the end of the Notorious album, played on about five tracks and then we went on a tour. Then we did another album, Big Thing, and then we started writing songs together in 1989. |
| You know, on the road, I never miss a meal. I eat five, six, seven times a day, depending on when I wake up and when I got to sleep. I never miss a training day. I always get my four days out of my seven. |
| I never used to drink water. I am drinking six liters of water every day now. That's the key. |
| You can hit your legs really hard, you can get very, very sore from training and I love that, but, the one I'd feel most on stage is legs. But, the thing that happens is once the adrenalin kicks in, that's the trigger. |
