When I go to bed, I ask God to give me one more day tomorrow. When I get it, I'm excited and grateful.

When I lost my weight, I went and bought about 15 different types of underwear to see what would look good on my new body. It's exciting!

My nickname is Dickie Jukebox.

I try to be the clown and court jester and make people laugh. At the same time, you have people in the hospital who have had gastric bypass or lap-band surgery and they still have to work out. If you don't work out and eat healthy, you'll look like a melted candle.

I really created my career out of my own compulsion. Because I knew if I owned an exercise studio and I had to teach my classes there, I wasn't going to gain my weight back.

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

I've never lived in the visual world. I live very much in an emotional-contact world.
