My persona has always been what a man was never supposed to be. Outrageous, gregarious, crazy, silly, funny.

I put a spell on people so they don't know they're working out... An enchanting spell, where they just don't think about it, or over think it, and then at the end they go, 'Wow, I feel good.'

When I talk to kids who are overweight, I see my face on their bodies.

Thats what we need going into the millennium. We need some positive, happy stuff.

I don't talk about my personal life, and I don't talk about death.

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.

Sometimes it's just 'Oh my God, I love the taste of fried oysters on French bread with mayonnaise and an order of French fries.' I'm not going to lie to you - I deal with that temptation every single day, many times.
