It's terrible, the way obese children and adults are treated in this country [USA]. And I'm not leaving this Earth until that is changed.

My persona has always been what a man was never supposed to be. Outrageous, gregarious, crazy, silly, funny.

For my workout, I'm up at 4 A.M. I say my prayers, count my blessings, and I work out right away. I just get it done.

My way is the sensitive, emotional way, because that's who I am. A day doesn't go by where I don't sit and cry, listening to the stories. I try to be the clown and court jester and make people laugh.

I might as well be gay. And not just because I love rhinestones and Barbara Streisand. But because Im a sensitive person who is supportive of gay people the same way Im sensitive to grossly obese people and ugly people.

I spent my childhood eating. The only exercise I got was trying to twist off the cap of a jar of mayonnaise.

I just want people to get off the back burner of their life and start to take better care of themselves and their children.
