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.

I do consider myself a clown and a court jester, and I do love to make people laugh, whether they're laughing with me or at me.

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.

If I don't take care of myself, if I don't feel good about myself, how can I help others?

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.

Right now many schools have no recess. Most schools have no PE.

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