"Nutrition is feeding your skin from the inside out, no question. And I, again, I have practiced this lifestyle for the bulk of my career.

And I can, and as far as appearance goes, and I say this all the time, and I can promise you, it's not Botox. You know, it's not, it's my diet. It's all of those other healthy habits that we do."
