There's nothing better than keeping fit. It gives me energy and helps me think more clearly.

I work out because that's my job, but what I enjoy about it, beyond the vanity, is the Zen of it. I like getting out of my head, and one great way to do that is to sweat your face off. And to know that, if you're thinking of anything else, you're not working intensely enough.

I do Pilates a lot. I don't do a lot of cardiovascular stuff.
