I didn't realize that diets don't work, and I did not want to diet. I didn't want to do anything that required dieting.

The one thing that I realize - well, not the one thing, but it was a big thing - having in my head that I need to get healthier. It's been a very gradual process for me.

If you go through life and you don't find the beauty in an unexpected place, then you really have a sad existence.

People who are overweight face discrimination. African-Americans face discrimination. Women face discrimination and sexism. So I don't have the luxury of not being tolerant of anyone.

I have experienced loss in my life, but the thing that brings you back is your faith.

I gotta go home and feed my eels. They're not electric, but I have a plan.

I don't have one role that I want to play. I guess... I want to be a producer. I want to be an activist. I want to be proactive in bringing about work for men, women, boys, girls, everybody who is good at what they do and deserve a shot at it.
