If I have to die, I want to combust in the middle of one of my classes.

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.

I was always into staying busy, into my goals, into making notes and planning. I'm not one who truly lives in the past.

If you don't love your mother you go straight to hell.

Sleep is critical to me ... at least eight or nine hours a night. I start to slow down my body and my mind at least 30 minutes before I get into bed. I don't watch any disturbing or invigorating TV at night.

I don't talk about my personal life, and I don't talk about death.

But if you pick up every other magazine, it is the peanut butter diet, or the cabbage soup diet, and then you go to the radio and you hear that you can drink some solution and you will lose weight overnight. It just does not work that way!
