Number one, like yourself. Number two, you have to eat healthy. And number three, you've got to squeeze your buns. That's my formula.

I started my own class for people like me who can't find any place else to go.

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

If anyone's depressed for any reason, whether a relationship has fallen apart or they're having money problems, wearing feathered wings and a tutu takes you into a whole other world. A whole new woooooorld, a world of bright and shining stars!

For many years, my formula has been to love yourself, move your body and to watch portion size. But the No. 1 thing is to love and value yourself, no matter what you've been through.

I spent my childhood eating. The only exercise I got was trying to twist off the cap of a jar of mayonnaise.

I'm not going to be happy until every child in every school is physically active.
