I run six-to-eight miles a day, plus weights and aerobics in the lunch hour. I also lie a lot, which keeps me thin.

We're getting a lot of air miles, ... I'll go back when I can, and they'll come here when they can. But it's tough.

I do heavy weights in the morning for about an hour, and then I do 45 minutes of higher-volume lifting in the afternoon. My least favorite is the legs... I do quite a few chin-ups and rows. I do mostly old-school lifting with a lot of squats.

People like to run over on their lunch hour and pick out a black author.

I have been through various fitness regimes. I used to run about five miles a day and I did aerobics for a while.

I'm an intense guy. I run 10 miles a day, which helps alleviate my intensity. Also, singing helps defuse my intensity. Playing the piano helps, and writing helps.
