I just try to maintain a healthy diet and I believe in taking your vitamins and antioxidants."

What touches my soul: "My family, they are my strength and inspiration. Also an intimate relationship with someone where you peel away there representative. I feel when you meet somebody at first, you're meeting their representative, you're not meeting the real person usually. So when you really get to peel away the outer layer and get down to finding out who someone really is and how they really feel and how they really think, and you can get up close and personal, that really touches my soul."

... on WOMEN

A woman can get my attention ... "by having a great personality. I can tell you how a woman can't get my attention. She can't get my attention by wearing a really short skirt or see through shirt, that doesn't cut it for me. A woman in a business suit would turn me on. I like that kind of woman, a strong, head on her shoulders kind of woman, not the kind of girl who goes to the clubs every night and parties. That doesn't interest me. I want more from my woman. I definitely want to be able to communicate and talk about important things that are going on in the world and in our lives."

My ideal woman ... "is a person who lights up the room when she walks in. She has a positive energy about her and it lifts the room up. She has a presence, she's someone that you feel. Whenever she's around, you know she's there. She exudes confidence in herself. She must have a heart of gold and know how to have a great time. I like a strong minded, strong-willed women but who is very feminine. I don't like the way a lot of the girls are nowadays. They sleep around, they party. I like a woman who is more old-fashioned. She should be very sweet, very kind, love animals, love children. She has to take care of herself because that's how you're going to feel, body, mind, spirit. If your body is not strong, your mind's not going to be strong or your spirit's not going to b strong. So she has to incorporate a healthy lifestyle. She has to eat good and exercise in whatever manner or way she wishes to."

I can't resist a woman who ... "is sexy without even trying."

I show a woman I care ... "by putting her before myself."

A woman made me melt ... "when she cooked dinner for me and then ..."

Most important quality in a woman: "Morals, they are essential."

Ideal date: "Great communication and lots of fun."

What makes a woman unforgettable: "The way she smells, the way she smiles and how she displays her character. I love women; I love everything about them. Their tenderness, warmth, beauty, softness. I am definitely in awe of them."

I wish women understood ..."that there are a few good ones left."

... on RELATIONSHIPS

Views on relationships/marriage: "A man definitely needs a good woman. Without them, we tend to grow coarse and cold. I love having a long-term relationship. I love having someone there every day for you. If I'm in a relationship, that's how I want it to be. I want it to be all or nothing. Most of the people I date end up being long-term relationships. A relationship is definitely important to me. Marriage and family is one of my main goals in life. I believe there's nothing like having a family. There's nothing that can replace that. There's nothing that can outshine your own."

Top Relationship Keys: "Trust, love, honesty and fire in the bedroom. You have to have that initial bang when you first meet somebody."

A woman who is in a relationship with me can expect ... "to strap on the seatbelt; it's gonna be a wild ride."

What I expect: "Someone who can hang with me physically and intellectually."

When I'm in love, I ... "feel alive and smile a lot."

Greatest Relationship Lesson: "No matter how much you love someone, it doesn't always work out.

... on SEX

What puts me in the mood: "I'm always in the mood."

I feel my sexiest when ... "I'm with my girlfriend."

On having a hedonistic side: "I would definitely say I'm hedonistic. People say I have a very innocent look but I'm not as innocent as I look. I'm definitely wild. Not in going out with a million different women kind of way but in just life. I run off, go traveling. I don't like to stay home and be put. I want to live crazy, live wild."

Besides bedroom, my favorite place to have sex: "On a boat at sunset with a little motion in the ocean."

What makes sex good: "When you can look into her eyes and honestly say, `I love you.'"
