I'm like a stuffed toy. You've never met me, but if you did, you'd just want to take me home and put me in your child's room.

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

Everyone in this world is somehow connected. So why not just be nice to everybody.

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

I was always into staying busy, into my goals, into making notes and planning. I'm not one who truly lives in the past.

I get an abundance of e-mail every day, some say 'dear Richard, can you call my husband, he weighs 400 pounds...' or 'my 14-year-old is 200 pounds...' or 'I just got divorced, no one wants me, I am 500 pounds.' So I pick up the phone and I call people.

I started my own class for people like me who can't find any place else to go.
