I abused my body so much throughout my career that I am literally held together by glue. The stuff I took thickens the bones and reinforces the tendons.
If bad decorating was a hanging offense, there'd be bodies hanging from every tree!
Lighting can bring out certain contours in the body, in the face, in the eyes, that otherwise flat lighting couldn't.
I'm not a genetically superior person. I built my body.
