I do a one-hour workout called Drenched a cardio-boxing fitness routine Monday through Friday. There are usually between twenty-five and fifty people there - everyone from stay-at-home moms and professional martial artists to teenagers and seniors. They play great dance music. When I can I take two classes back-to-back.

I actually study boxing - my dad was a Golden Gloves champion so I learned how to fight at a very young age. Growing up in Brooklyn you always had to watch your back so I pretty much learned to protect myself.

A computer once beat me at chess but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

I quit after a bad car accident. The thing about boxing is that you can be a star for five or six years but when you go back to the old life it's tough.

Boxing is my real passion. I can go to ballet theatre movies or other sporting events... and nothing is like the fights to me. I'm excited by the visual beauty of it. A boxer can look so spectacular by doing a good job.

I hope to have one more boxing match at the age of 55. Given that demographic at the age of 55 to 65 you've got to make a statement with your life. Otherwise you are just existing.
