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.

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.

Sleep is critical to me ... at least eight or nine hours a night. I start to slow down my body and my mind at least 30 minutes before I get into bed. I don't watch any disturbing or invigorating TV at night.

When I talk to kids who are overweight, I see my face on their bodies.

When the king gets depressed, he doesn't call for his wife. He doesn't call for the cook. He calls for the court jester.

Ninety percent of people who lose weight gain it back. It's very sad.

Everyone in Senate is a hurdle, but everyone in there has children. Everyone in there has grandchildren. No one wants to see our kids continue to gain weight, have high blood pressure high cholesterol, diabetes, and depression.
