A kid who moves is a kid who learns.

I do not want any child in America to have my childhood because it was taken away from me because I just wasn't good enough; well I am good enough now.

I have rules about eating, exercising and rules about staying positive. And these rules are sacred to me.

I get an abundance of e-mail every day, some say 'dear Richard, can you call my husband, he weighs 400 pounds...' or 'my 14-year-old is 200 pounds...' or 'I just got divorced, no one wants me, I am 500 pounds.' So I pick up the phone and I call people.

Take a moment every day to find peace. Pull over to the side of the road, turn off the radio, and find peace.

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

My parents always told me to be myself. I was always funny and silly as a kid. And I would always make them laugh. And they always told me to dream big and follow those dreams.
