I never sold any of those "lose 10 pounds every week" scams. I've not changed my tune in all these years. I've seen everything pass by me, and I've been offered millions of dollars to put my name on products that were just lies. And I never did it.

Even though my work is whimsical. I have a very serious job. I cry more than I laugh.

People need the court jester, so I keep that smile on and keep going out there to do what I do.

When I talk to kids who are overweight, I see my face on their bodies.

You can say anything you want to say about me. But don't you dare address overweight people with terrible names and ugly remarks. That is what upsets me.

I've never lived in the visual world. I live very much in an emotional-contact world.

When I go to teach, that's not my workout. It's my show. I'm 134 pounds - I'm a teeny thing. I work out 11/2 hours a day and eat 1,600 calories. I can't stray because I have to fit into these Dolfin shorts!
