I think at the age of 50, everyone should write their own autobiography.

The real pride, the real present, is your health and your longevity. My whole career, I have never done anything where competition was involved with weight loss.

I sort of think of myself as part priest, part clown.

I hope in my lifetime we can all continue to laugh at ourselves and not put down anyone for what they weigh.

When I go to teach, that's not my workout. It's my show. I'm 134 pounds - I'm a teeny thing. I work out 11/2 hours a day and eat 1,600 calories. I can't stray because I have to fit into these Dolfin shorts!

Count your blessings. You are one of a kind. There's no one in the world like you. You are amazing.

Work hard, take care of yourself, and you'll be just fine.
