I think there is no better way to invite a human being to view their body differently than by inviting them to be an athlete, by revering one's body as an instrument rather than just an ornament.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I know a lot of athletes and models are written off as just bodies. I never felt used for my body.
I think that's one thing about the entertainment industry: Athletes want to be actors, and musicians want to be actors, so it all kind of mixes nice together.
I see my body as an instrument, rather than an ornament.
I think everybody ought to be allowed to be engaged in athletics at whatever level the audience will accept.
An athlete may not know what they're putting in their body.
I think, without question, the way someone plays sports shows something about inherently who they are, you know?
I would say that one of the hardest things for an athlete, and really anybody of any profession, is that we create our identity in what we do.
I've seen myself do stuff on stage that was pretty amazing. I think that would be true for any athlete. Any top athlete will see something that they are very proud of. All my injuries will attest to the fact that besides being a musician, it comes down to being an athlete.
Athletes these days are too robotic. People like to see performances filled with emotion. In my career I tried to be amusing, to differentiate myself from the other champions.
They see themselves as athletes and only athletes.
