I also have a degree in marriage, family and child counseling - I'm a therapist.

I had a great childhood, a very close-knit family. We were all overweight, and we had good times eating together, I imagine.

When my parents died they both were 47, and they died of complications of different diseases; one being diabetes.

The way to deal with the devil of obesity and diabetes is literally one day at a time.

Like most severely overweight people, I had to hit a rock-hard bottom before I'd take responsibility for the consequences of neglecting my own health.

I tell people I'm on a diet. If somebody sees me with a muffin, they'll think I'm off my diet. It's like secret little police that I've made for myself.

I'll make a diet cheesecake, but I'll put it in a Sara Lee box. Or I'll have a huge bowl of pasta, but it's actually just a cup of pasta - the rest is vegetables. It makes me feel less deprived.

The first thing I did on my diet was take the batteries out of the remote control and make myself get up and change the channel. That's probably the hardest exercise I did.

One of the key things I did to stay on my diet is I never allowed myself to get hungry. As soon as I got hungry, I'd eat healthy foods.

I don’t believe in astrology

Happiness is a sacred bliss.

The only thing worse than a known enemy is an unfriendly friend. You place your trust on him or her as a friend, not knowing that you are placing your trust on a secret enemy.

Nothing good will come out with lying.

My family knew, but most of the sporting world did not realize that my right hand been some 75% paralyzed.

The truth is in the mystery.

Television is bubble-gum for the mind.

Don't condemn yourself - that only increases the hold of impurity. Accept your limitations but know that you're working towards changing them.

I'm not as surprised in going from playing 1,000 seats to 4,000 seats as I was from 100 to 500 seats.

I have never made a movie that's attracted a 14-year-old boy.
