I just strive to do better. Every time I meet somebody, I ask myself, "How can I help this person?"

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!

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

If I have to die, I want to combust in the middle of one of my classes.

Every morning when I get up, I ask God what he wants me to do, ask him to lead me to the right people to help them.

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

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.
