That isn’t about money, fame, or power. It’s about will, dedication, commitment, and knowing your self-worth. You can be poor as dirt and have those traits. Money can’t buy you values. You just need to know what is important to you and then feel secure in your pursuit to achieve that.

I'm really not sure what people think or expect me to be, but I am surprised when people say, 'You're not supposed to be like that ' I'm not exactly sure what 'that' is, so I choose to take it as a compliment.

When someone wants to lose weight, they will do whatever it takes. They can’t do it for anyone else but themselves. It has to be for them alone. Without that understanding, they will fail.

God uses people to help others. I only pray my faith is strong enough to get me through what I have to face.

I'm prouder of my weight loss than my Oscar! I hope it has inspired people.

If you’re not eating the right foods in the right amounts, all the exercise in the world won’t combat the caloric intake.
