We're all in trouble, and we all need to sort of pick up the pieces and start to exercise more and really be careful with the food.

My nickname is Dickie Jukebox. I own thousands and thousands and thousands of songs.

It's my life dream to be able to go and continue going to schools and teaching them about stretching and aerobics, cardio and strength training, because I want them to have a better life than I did. I don't want them to grow up to be me. I want them to be healthy. I want them not to go through eating disorders [like me].

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!

It's not nice to make fun of people with issues.

For my workout, I'm up at 4am. I say my prayers, count my blessings, and I work out right away. I just get it done. One day I'll tone - chest, back and shoulders - and the next day it's biceps and triceps. I also do 45 minutes of cardio every day. I do that before I even leave the house.

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