Q: Did you play sports in school?
A: I didn't play individual sports. I played football. But all [four] kids played individual sports. The kids picked up individual sports — I'm proud. Whether you play individual or team, I think it's great to be in active sports like tennis or golf or riding horses.
Q: Do you have any physical problems that hinder exercise?
A: No. I've got no excuses. It's all on me.
Q: Do you smoke or have any other health vices?
A: No. I drink rarely — socially.
Q: What's your typical daily diet?
A: My breakfast is fairly routine. I'll have either eggs and toast and grapefruit or oatmeal. Almost never varies from that, as boring as that sounds. Vegetables usually for lunch, whether it's a salad or broccoli. Dinner can be whatever it is. I'm still partial to steak and chicken.
I drink a lot of herbal tea. I probably — good grief — have four to five, at least, cups or glasses of herbal tea a day, three to four bottles of water per day, and a cup of coffee or two in the morning.
Q: Take vitamins or sports nutrition products?
A: My wife went on a high-protein diet and she gets these high-protein drinks that I love, too. That rounds out my diet. Except when I can get my hands on a piece of pizza or cheeseburger.
