I went to the studio, and I freestyled 'Beautiful' in, like, an hour and a half, and I threw it up, and people were like, 'This song's gonna change your life.'
From the time I was five years old, theater was all I knew. I did community theater; I went to theater school. It's like going to the gym as an actor: every single night, you have to recreate the illusion of the first time, so you really have to listen and connect and stay in the moment for an hour and a half - with no breaks.
I set the time on my iPhone to be 30 minutes late, so I'm only an hour and a half late to appointments now.
There's something about the rhythm of walking, how, after about an hour and a half, the mind and body can't help getting in sync.
Pat Benatar might need a rock band, but I can just sit with a blues guitar for an hour and a half and do folk songs and great contemporary ballads, and not many people can pull that off.
Hot yoga is something that I forced myself to get into. When I first did it, I thought, 'How on earth am I going to get through an hour and a half of this?' because I was so hot.
I can remember an Inter-Verona and we arrived at the stadium an hour and a half before kick-off and there were already 85,000 fans screaming our names. It sent shivers down your spine. I am proud of one thing and that is that I really gave all of my energy for those people.
I love sitting in the makeup trailer and getting my makeup done in 15 minutes as opposed to an hour and a half.
You spend so much time in your head in life. And what yoga does is, it asks you to allow your head to be quiet, to allow it to be still, just for an hour and a half. Just deal with your body and your breath. And it's a great workout. I love it.
I commuted an hour and a half each way to high school in N.Y.C. I took a bus, a ferry, then a subway.
