I get tired of negativity in our country. I get tired of people who only want to know dirt. I get tired of people who don't believe in themselves.

I hope in my lifetime we can all continue to laugh at ourselves and not put down anyone for what they weigh.

I just strive to do better. Every time I meet somebody, I ask myself, "How can I help this person?"

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.

Everything I did with my life I did so that I could give my parents everything they didn't have because of me.

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.

When I go to bed at night, I ask God to give me another day; I ask him to keep me strong and make me a good teacher and to keep spreading this right word.
