Sometimes my mouth is a little too big and a little too open and sounds too much like a sailor.

I usually eat breakfast twice. I'm usually up at 3 a.m. - do my spiritual work, my affirmations, a little bit of songwriting, get my daily work in order, and by that time I've worked up a bigger appetite.

No matter what, I always make it home for Christmas. I love to go to my Tennessee Mountain Home and invite all of my nieces and nephews and their spouses and kids and do what we all like to do - eat, laugh, trade presents and just enjoy each other... and sometimes I even dress up like Santa Claus!

Our own freewill, to choose the paths we take, no greater deed could ever be done than for another's sake.

I have to not harden my heart, because I want to stay open to feel things.

I like to buy clothes that are two sizes too small and then take them in a little.

I've done everything every fat person ever has. I've tried every diet.
