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.

I've been going to shopping malls since I was on General Hospital.

I've always practiced this: Love yourself. Move your body. Watch your portions.

Stop trying to find something in food that will make you feel better.

I have a one of a kind collection of dolls. My house is like a museum.

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.

We overweight people, we say terrible things to ourselves. Oh, you wouldn't believe it. 'You fat pig. How can you do this? You're a disgusting jerk.' And that gets you nowhere. That gets you right back into a bowl of pasta fregula.
