Anthony Catanzaro Interview 2007

RTM ~ How do you distinguish the difference between Lust and Love?
TONY ~ That's an easy one. Lust is from the devil - Love is from God.

RTM ~ What was your most outrageous moment in the area of romance?>
TONY ~ I'm very spontaneous and I don't limit myself. Im not one for roses and flowers, but don't get into the elevator with me. LOL, that's all I can say.

RTM ~ Do you like the woman to initiate intimacy? And do you prefer Slow and Sensual
or Down Dirty?
TONY ~ It's all right for the woman to make the first move it shows her confidence. I dont
like timid women and I'd have to say I like it Down & Dirty.

RTM ~ In your opinion and in your dating years did you find that women want intimacy
to be a romantic venture or more into just a good time?
TONY ~ Definitely a romantic venture, women love romance. You know the old saying: Women want romance, men want sex. Love is like fire, if you feed it too much oxygen it turns into an inferno and you'll get burned. But there has to be both in a healthy relationship and if you take away the oxygen the flame goes out. But if you tend that fire with loving care and let it grow naturally you have an eternal flame. And that's what love is all about. There has to be a balance between the two it won't work any other way. People stay in unhealthy loveless relationships and marriages for a lot of different reasons but again without the love it just doesn't work. All it does is make all involved miserable and life is just too short for that.

Women are easy to love and they'll stay happy if you tell them you love them often and give them a little pat on the rump occasionally.

THE ROMANTIC LIGHTER SIDE

RTM ~ Italian's are known as very passionate, expressive people, and are known as great lovers. Do you consider yourself what some would call an Italian Stallion Stud or are you an Italian Shetland Pony'?>
TONY ~ LOL, I'm 100% the real deal, but I think myself more The Italian Bull.'

RTM ~ Where at this point in your life is your career most focused? What are your long term goals to achieve your dreams and where do you see yourself in 5 years?
TONY ~As its always been my career focus is on Health and Fitness and being able to help others achieve their own goals with a positive attitude and being healthy in mind, body, and spirit. I like to watch Joel Osteen a Spiritual leader that teaches on how to keep your life focused through God and maintain a healthy balance of body and spirit which in turn gives us the power of strength over the negativity that can invade our minds and hearts and can ultimately break our spirit and cause us to doubt our own abilities and dreams. I believe it's all in the balance there's no room for negativity. You have to have a positive attitude at all times.

Where do I see myself in 5 years? I would love to be able to speak to large crowds to motivate and inspire people all over the world to become one in mind, body, and spirit. To help others see the importance of Health and Fitness in their everyday lives and be able to achieve their goals and dreams with a positive attitude and maintain the balance that is needed to ensure a healthy life not only in the body but in the spirit.

RTM ~ What Charity or Causes are you most supportive and why are they so important to you?

Tony ~ To be honest I don't currently financially support any charitie's or causes. I just don't fully trust some of the organization's that the financial help that's given them actually reaches the people in need. I lean more toward the personal touch - to visit the individual and be able to talk one on one with them and give them the help that they need within my own abilities and experience. I believe that everyone needs help sometime in their life, some people just need someone to listen and give them hope. Again, you have to see the importance of a healthy mind and spirit and if this is achieved it results in a positive attitude and mind-set which gives us an inner strength that can often make a big difference to the out come of ones situation. The mind is a powerful thing but the spirit is even more powerful. I give generously to other people that's just my way.

RTM ~ Name the 3 most important aspects in your own personal life today and why?

TONY ~ I would have to say myself, Tina my wife, and our dog Tiny. This might not be considered
aspects but it's what's important to me. Now don't get the wrong idea when I include myself, I feel that if I keep my own balance and stay focused then I'm able to face any challenge and obstacle that's put in my path. Family is very important to me and if I'm prepared for lifes twists and turns with a positive attitude then I'm in a much better position to help my family when things get rough. My wife Tina I love with all my heart and she's the most important person in my life. Our dog Tiny is part of the family too and important to both Tina and I.
