You know we are flawed people, so if someone is going to make a movie about me, they don't have to make it up. My real flaws are much funnier.

If you're in a diabetic or prediabetic state, it's good to have medication to go on for a period of time. But simply by making the changes - get your sleep, 35 grams of fiber and a half-hour walk - your cholesterol will come down, your sugar will come down, and your blood pressure will come down. Only the minority of people can't control it.

I was a good little boy and a good student. I've never been arrested.

Nobody has been arrested on Wall Street for the crash of 2008. They're not paying their fair share of the taxes. And now with the Citizens United case of the Supreme Court, they get to buy politicians up out in the open.

I'm from the Midwest, and guys like me don't go on diets. We don't do well on spinning classes.
