I've been going to shopping malls since I was on General Hospital.

My father offered me a dollar for every pound I would lose as a kid. It didn't work. And it doesn't really work in the long run.

Well mine is not gimmicky - it is the 6 food groups that God made, and exercising every day. Trying to think positively.

Every day you eat is every day you have to work out.

Stop trying to find something in food that will make you feel better. I used to have eating disorders; I'd binge and purge all the time: fried oysters, po' boys, muffulettas, beignets, coffee and doughnuts. I tried to medicate myself with food when people made fun of me or hit me with a bat in school. I'd always turn to food. Knowing what I now know, I'd turn to me.

People need the court jester, so I keep that smile on and keep going out there to do what I do.

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