I suffered from eating disorders when I was just a kid. I did not like me or the way I looked. But back then, you could not tell anyone.

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.

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

I have never lied to the people. I have always told them to love themselves, to move their body, and to watch their portions. I never jumped on any other bandwagons for stupid diets or shots or pills or anything. I'm very worried about our young people. And we need to take care of them, or they're not going to live as long as their parents. And this is really something very important to me.

But if you pick up every other magazine, it is the peanut butter diet, or the cabbage soup diet, and then you go to the radio and you hear that you can drink some solution and you will lose weight overnight. It just does not work that way!

Being successful is something that's sometimes hard to deal with.

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