When she's not working or escaping to her upstate retreat, Ray is likely to be found at a bar where her husband's band is playing or relaxing with her large network of friends. One place you won't find her: in the gym. "I do some calisthenics at home when I can, but that's few and far between," she says. "Other than that, I just stare at my Crunch [gym membership] card in my wallet." As for dieting, "I don't deny myself," she says. "I don't want to be a size zero that badly. I got the fat pants, the skinny jeans. I try to eat well – I grew up with a Mediterranean diet, so I don't eat a lot of butter and fat. I eat a lot of vegetables and good, fresh-looking food."
Finishing her glass of Brunello, Ray still isn't ready to call it a day. "John and I will stay up long enough to have a laugh and share a meal, even if it's really late," she says of her foot-on-the-gas-pedal philosophy. "So we have a few hours less to sleep. Maybe life is a few days shorter. It will be richer for it on the other end."
