I have always been "Hacky Wacky" which is my lingo for HAPPY! I refuse to allow my obesity to control me.

I want us all to get healthier, but also to live life to the fullest along the way. I want people to live their lives no matter what.

I refuse to allow people to stop me from living and enjoying my life.

I am on an emotional roller coaster ride to survive and to conquer obesity, not only for myself but also for everyone that battles some kind of addiction.

I am a girl who loves life and loves people and I find that in this life there are more good people than bad and that is who I choose to surround myself with.

I don't let negative attitudes and meanness from other people keep me from living my life.

The meal plan was hard at first because I am a snack eater, but the most challenging part is trying to change my pallet to like healthy food.

I write down everything I eat and count the calories so I don't go over a certain amount. Everyone should do this if they are dieting or not. I think we all would be shocked by it.

Perhaps by sharing my personal weight-loss journey on television, I can help others confront the truth and lies behind obesity.

There is more weight to be lost and so many more things I need to learn and conquer.

Sure, I'd like a child of my own. I'd also like a laser pistol, that doesn't mean someone should give me one.

America is in such trouble.

It's not healthy to live life as a succession of isolated little cool moments.

Drunken with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you will. But be drunken.

I think that during the shoot, you should never be there, unless something goes really wrong and as producer, you're responsible. The sign you did your job right is if you are not there.

One arrives at style only with atrocious effort, with fanatical and devoted stubbornness.

Women are terrified of being raped, but somewhere in the back of the womb there is one rebellious nerve end that tingles with curiosity whenever the word is mentioned.

Sometimes I would like the opportunity to do character-driven comedy and that's really what I was trying to do in Meet The Parents. I think in a way this is a more old fashioned type of comedy.

Stupidity often saves a man from going mad.

When death occurs, death as you know it, the universe embraces you and takes you to its heart.
