In one interview, Puspekalis told what sport means in his life:
– As a child, I was engaged in boxing and wrestling. And then there were a lot of sports in my life. I have been at the theater school since the age of 15, and there dance, fencing and other sports disciplines are held in high esteem. Acting education is the most aristocratic: it combines mental development with physical culture.
Now I continue to do physical education, but without fanaticism. I think you need to listen to your body more carefully. I smoked a lot. I thought it helped with anxiety. I quit in 2002 and am very happy, although it was hard at first. This is an addiction, and a very serious one. But when I was able to overcome it, I began to respect myself more.
