Stop trying to find something in food that will make you feel better.

That's what the majority of people in the world do, they walk among the ruins of their life. Things that didn't work out, relationships that went sour, jobs that disappeared. All they can think about is their ruins, and when you focus on that you can't build a new you.

When I was younger, I ate nothing but fried food. Everything was fried, from oysters to chicken to potatoes to vegetables.

I have a one of a kind collection of dolls. My house is like a museum.

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.

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