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 don't have a lot to offer one person. I have a lot to offer to a lot of people.

If I have to die, I want to combust in the middle of one of my classes.

When I was growing up, I did not exercise at all. I was raised in the French Quarter in New Orleans. If I saw someone running, I would call the police because I thought they stole something on Royal Street.

You can say anything you want to say about me. But don't you dare address overweight people with terrible names and ugly remarks. That is what upsets me.

One day I may be meeting you and hearing how you've changed your life by saying, "Farewell to Fat".

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