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.

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.

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

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.

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

To question what I see, then to question what I see after that, because the questions matter as much, perhaps more than, the answers.

I'll direct any movie starring a monkey or the Olsen Twins. Preferably both.

Being "Jewish" is way stronger culturally than it is religiously.

When I find something good, I stick to it for like a month. I'm usually late on like other stuff. Kendrick Lamar, I can play that often.

You! You are so lucky you're dead.

To make independent films, you can't think about them too much, ponder on them too much, get overwhelmed by the enormity of it.

The Six Faces of the future are: Fast, Urban, Tribal, Universal, Radical and Ethical.

Get into the habit of dealing with God about everything.

In regards to my artistry, I've learned the importance of being vulnerable.

You freeze with the number of opportunities given to you and just decide to do nothing at all.
