Although I have never been 100 lbs overweight, I know the effects of not feeling comfortable in my own skin.

Yesterday is a cancelled check; Tomorrow is a promissory note; Today is the only cash you have, so spend it wisely.

I always laugh because if I walk through the mall in my gym clothes a ponytail I get recognized but if I'm in street clothes or dressed up not very many people notice.

I believe becoming healthy and working out saved my life by giving me the confidence and self worth to achieve my goals.

Look at the home makeover shows. It isn't realistic to tear down a house, rebuild it, and decorate it in less then a week, but there aren't people out there criticizing those shows.

Many people on the street recognize me and are so positive...I am extremely passionate about helping others get healthy and I never feel bothered when fans stop and want to talk.

It is extremely hurtful when women tell me I don't understand or know how they feel.

I do not have a genetically "gifted" body. I have to work hard everyday and I am always working on maintaining a positive self image.

It is hard for women not to be overly self critical, I am no exception!

Some people have goodness and merit buried deep inside and we glimpse it and see its value but ultimately it's covered by so much dirt that it's a 24/7 exercise in archaeology.

It’s been a long, rocky life, with plenty of possibility but too much human ugliness.

Nouvelle cuisine roughly translated means "I can't believe I spent ninety-six dollars and I'm still hungry."

Cheesecake Factory is great. It should have Michelin stars.

I have to tell you, TV is an incredibly difficult medium. The most challenging show to do is the hour long dramedy. It's a very tricky format.

A well arranged scrapbook, filled with choice selections, is a most excellent companion for anyone who has the least literary taste.

For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide.

It was nice to focus on things outside of my body. Music has always done that for me.

In high school, I came to realize I had a second-hand faith, derived from my parents and family background. I had no actual reasons for believing it.

I was not a messiah, but an ordinary man who had become a leader because of extraordinary circumstances.
