For years I always thought it was hilarious that I was this fitness guru because fitness was just a tool I utilized to help people improve their confidence. For me it's never been about fitness. It's always been about helping to empower people.
I've had one very bad ankle injury but otherwise I've been incredibly lucky with my fitness. I've worked hard at it and I've always been fit even compared to other players. That sustains you through various parts of your career but I am 36.
I feel if I'm healthy and happy I look good. With a good mixture of fitness and healthy food I always feel great!
I've always believed fitness is an entry point to help you build that happier healthier life. When your health is strong you're capable of taking risks. You'll feel more confident to ask for the promotion. You'll have more energy to be a better mom. You'll feel more deserving of love.
People may say I developed an iron will but what really happened is that I made myself much fitter. I think an iron will is always supported by fitness.
I can't eat whatever I want definitely not. I'm always controlled because I do a lot of fitness and triathlons not just Formula One so I always make sure I eat the right things.
I'm still very professional about my fitness. I stay in trim as I always did.
One of the things I've always enjoyed is moving around and staying fit. Physicality is such a big part of being an actor but it's also about stillness and silence.
I think if you exercise your state of mind - my state of mind - is usually more at ease ready for more mental challenges. Once I get the physical stuff out of the way it always seems like I have more calmness and better self-esteem.
Never hurry. Take plenty of exercise. Always be cheerful. Take all the sleep you need. You may expect to be well.
