My body is very shaped, and I like to be simple. I don't like to use so many colors. My best colors are black, white and blue.

I have a lot of adrenaline. I have a naturally fast system. But I love to eat, and I am not skinny.

I'm a taco guy, so I like Mexican food, and any form of a taco, I'm going to eat it. During the season, I'll make it a grilled chicken taco. But after the season, give me a regular beef taco and fill it to capacity. I need meat, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, pico de gallo, and everything you got.
