I've had the fame and the joy of getting laughter - those are gifts.

Maybe mom is my alter ego and the woman I'm able to be when I'm working.

My weakness is pizza, any form of carbohydrate. I like junk carbohydrates, I like cheap greasy cheeseburgers, quality french fries.

Diabetes is an all-too-personal time bomb which can go off today, tomorrow, next year, or 10 years from now - a time bomb affecting millions like me and the children here today.

I'm sort of doing a lot of the things now that I never thought I would and that I wished I had done a year or so ago.

When the doctor said I had diabetes, I conjured images of languishing on a chaise longue nibbling chocolates. I have no idea why I thought this.

I don't want anyone to tell me something.
