When I was growing up everybody I knew could sing. I had no choice. I had to sing.

We didn't have the Grand Ole Opry or country radio stations in Nova Scotia when I was growing up.

Growing up, I heard nothing but the best music.

Turbines are a curiosity, but only once.

I grew up in Skaneateles, a small town in New York's Finger Lakes region, where parts of my family have lived for five generations. I can walk the streets there and point out my father's childhood home, the houses my grandfather built, the farm where my great-great-uncle worked after he emigrated from England in the 1880s.

My parents' marriage is a gift to everyone around them - 60 years of making their kids laugh. How many parents are actually funny?

I'm truly excited to be a part of the Reebok family. What really comes through when working with Reebok team is that they live and breathe fitness. They have an incredible heritage in training and know exactly what it takes to help athletes be as fit as they can be.

I come from a magnetic field of Catholicism. I was baptised by my mother's family, who were all traditional Catholics. But my mother was the black sheep of the family - she ran away to the ballet at 17.
