People treat me like family, 'cause I've always treated them like family.

When you gain weight, for every pound that you gain, it adds four pounds of stress on your knees. So if you gain five pounds, you've got 20 pounds of stress on your knees. So that's why I'm extremely careful with my portions and my workout, because I can't be overweight.

I get an abundance of e-mail every day, some say 'dear Richard, can you call my husband, he weighs 400 pounds...' or 'my 14-year-old is 200 pounds...' or 'I just got divorced, no one wants me, I am 500 pounds.' So I pick up the phone and I call people.

Take a moment every day to find peace. Pull over to the side of the road, turn off the radio, and find peace.

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

Everyone's under pressure and you just have to learn how to deal with it. And I deal with it through prayer and staying busy.

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.
