I don't have to teach anymore, I don't have to work anymore, God has been really good to me.

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.

A kid who moves is a kid who learns.

My nickname is Dickie Jukebox.

When I was growing up, I did not exercise at all. I was raised in the French Quarter in New Orleans. If I saw someone running, I would call the police because I thought they stole something on Royal Street.

If people confront me with certain questions, if they are not right, I will not answer them.

It's terrible, the way obese children and adults are treated in this country [USA]. And I'm not leaving this Earth until that is changed.
