And Jessica said, 'What if we raised a baby together?'

Moon rocks are OK when everyone is eating

If I can, I love staying in pajamas all day and watching movies and eating good food.

Luckily, I'm young and I have a great training staff that helps me take care of my body day in and day out. You make sure you're eating right. Make sure you're hitting the iron, lifting as much as you possibly can. That's easier said than done because we don't have many practice days.
