Everyone in this world is somehow connected. So why not just be nice to everybody.

I really created my career out of my own compulsion. Because I knew if I owned an exercise studio and I had to teach my classes there, I wasn't going to gain my weight back.

If I don't take care of myself, if I don't feel good about myself, how can I help others?

I do consider myself a clown and a court jester, and I do love to make people laugh, whether they're laughing with me or at me.

Energy is that amazing feeling that comes to life inside of you when you're happy and believe in yourself.

I began reading cook books when I was six, cause my father had hundreds of cook books in the kitchen. I was obsessed with cooking and tasting different recipes. I got lost in being a compulsive eater. It brought me much happiness. Sadness too, sure. But I have to say, and compulsive eaters will agree with me, for that few seconds that you're eating, food tastes just great.
