Comedy, not screaming at someone, can make someone lift their legs higher. There is a way to do a push-up and a sit-up, and it doesn't have to be so complicated. Everyone is putting a difficult twist to it and making you do way too much.

I think at the age of 50, everyone should write their own autobiography.

I began reading cook books when I was six, cause my father had hundreds of cook books in the kitchen. I was obsessed with cooking and tasting different recipes. I got lost in being a compulsive eater. It brought me much happiness. Sadness too, sure. But I have to say, and compulsive eaters will agree with me, for that few seconds that you're eating, food tastes just great.

My father offered me a dollar for every pound I would lose as a kid. It didn't work. And it doesn't really work in the long run.

I have two rules for living in the world. I never say anything negative about anyone, because that won't get you anywhere. And two, if people confront me with certain questions, if they are not right, I will not answer them.

I'm like a stuffed toy. You've never met me, but if you did, you'd just want to take me home and put me in your child's room.

My nickname is Dickie Jukebox. I own thousands and thousands and thousands of songs.
