If you want to get the body you've always dreamed of, you have to earn it.

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.

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

Its an eerie thing. My childhood is being washed away.

Puberty for me was graduating from Thousand Island salad dressing to Caesar salads. It was like going from hot dogs and hamburgers to beef stroganoff, or from ice cream in a cone to creme brulee.

Truthfully, everyone knows how to eat right. They know the difference between oatmeal and a jelly cream doughnut. They know how to walk. Everyone has this in their brain. When I started, we didn't have all this knowledge. Forty years ago, I lost my weight, but only by watching what I was eating.

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