I'm constantly feeding my metabolism. But at the same time if I want to go one night and have a nice dinner then I won't sweat it the next day.

A Fighter gets up... No matter what.

I know that when I get stressed, I want to eat junk food. So now I just know - 'I'm stressed, I want to eat junk food, so I'm going to go work out instead, or eat something healthy.' It really works.

I don't care who you are or what you have gone through - everyone has something they are fighting for.

Nothing would make me happier than to train the next winner on 'The Biggest Loser' because it means the world to me. Everybody has a fighter inside them, they just don't realize it.

My background is that of a competitive athlete and a fighter, and I'm bringing something totally different to 'The Biggest Loser' that wasn't there before.

I like to eat chocolate and pizza - that's my vice! - just like everyone else, but if I do it I have to keep it under control.

Everyone has a different training style and being a female, sometimes you find you have to get really aggressive. Some people respond really well to aggression, some people don't.

Even though I had been boxing, I had no idea I could beat somebody in the ring. And I had no idea I could really take a punch. When I realized that, I really started taking off.

I'm not a celebrity trainer. I don't have my own line of DVDs, but I'm a fighter and have everything to prove.

Happiness is.. looking at the closing door, then bolting them from outside and fleeing.

My new story collection won’t please everyone, nor was it meant to. Then again, not everybody lives in my world. If they did, I’d have to move out and find another world to write about.

The secret of boring people lies in telling them everything.

Wealth tends to create enemies, whereas knowledge tends to warm hearts.

I'm very interested, in all my books, in community, what binds people together, which I think is an obvious consequence of being the fourth of six children.

A ring is a halo on your finger.

The solutions the non-profits are trying to provide aren't keeping pace with the problems they're trying to survive.

I think that... the age of just slapping songs into movies, that's done.

The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight-of-hand that was ever invented.

If you believe in what you're doing, you're going to make money. When you question it, you won't.
