When you're feeling down, sad, lonely, negative, you don't want to take care of yourself - and the weight problem and the diabetic problem and the heart attack and stroke problems and high cholesterol set in.

Work hard, take care of yourself, and you'll be just fine.

I'm like a stuffed toy. You've never met me, but if you did, you'd just want to take me home and put me in your child's room.

You can say anything you want to say about me. But don't you dare address overweight people with terrible names and ugly remarks. That is what upsets me.

Count your blessings. You are one of a kind. There's no one in the world like you. You are amazing.

When I was younger, I ate nothing but fried food. Everything was fried, from oysters to chicken to potatoes to vegetables. When you die in New Orleans, they deep fry you before they put you in the coffin. When we baptize children in New Orleans, we baptize them with a bordelaise sauce; we don't use water.

If people confront me with certain questions, if they are not right, I will not answer them.
