My way is the sensitive, emotional way, because that's who I am. A day doesn't go by where I don't sit and cry, listening to the stories. I try to be the clown and court jester and make people laugh.

If I've got the right songs, I can weave a spell over everyone.

I have loved deeply. I have lost intensely. I will never love again. I get that love by people who care for me.

I just want people to get off the back burner of their life and start to take better care of themselves and their children.

I start phone calls at 4 A.M. to cheer people up. The housebound, people in the hospital. People who, after decades, still can't get over what happened 10 or 15 years ago.

For my workout, I'm up at 4am. I say my prayers, count my blessings, and I work out right away. I just get it done. One day I'll tone - chest, back and shoulders - and the next day it's biceps and triceps. I also do 45 minutes of cardio every day. I do that before I even leave the house.

A kid who moves is a kid who learns.
