Fortunately, I was still living in Los Angeles at the time. So I went out to World Gym and got a membership.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In L.A., you just kind of come and have a nice hiking-yoga-gym life.
After about a year or so, I was in L.A.; I'd decided to try to get a band together out there.
The first time I joined the gym was during the Miss Sri Lanka pageant in 2006. Then, I went for the Miss Universe contest where I was exposed to girls who were very fit for their age. They could have joined the Olympics. They were doing crazy exercises.
I lived in Los Angeles in the '80s, which was not the best place to be.
If you live in the States, you have to join a gym.
Basically, what happened was, I had moved out to Los Angeles, I was pretty damn lazy and I put on some pounds.
I began my career in Los Angeles and started working fairly quickly.
I have been coming to Los Angeles since 1975 to perform.
I have sort of a life in Los Angeles.
I'm not a big fan of working out. Living in Los Angeles makes it much easier for me; I don't ever have an excuse not to be outside.
