It's not nice to make fun of people with issues.

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

I'm the clown you take out of the box and wind up when you need a good laugh. And then, when you're done with me, I go back in my box.

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.

Everything I did with my life I did so that I could give my parents everything they didn't have because of me.

I'm 64, but I act like I'm still 12. I go to schools. At colleges, they come out in droves, they almost scare me. I think it's just to see if I'm still alive. After I work them out - and it's not easy - I sit them down and we have a serious talk. Are they eating? Working on their body? I can say things parents won't say. No matter where I go, I talk to each one individually after I teach. They tell me things like, 'I'm starving, guys like girls thinner.' I give them concrete advice about self-image and self-worth.

Energy is that amazing feeling that comes to life inside of you when you're happy and believe in yourself.
