My persona has always been what a man was never supposed to be. Outrageous, gregarious, crazy, silly, funny.

When the king gets depressed, he doesn't call for his wife. He doesn't call for the cook. He calls for the court jester.

Number one, like yourself. Number two, you have to eat healthy. And number three, you've got to squeeze your buns. That's my formula.

No tricks, gimmicks, special pills, special potions, special equipment. All it takes is desire and will.

I spent my childhood eating. The only exercise I got was trying to twist off the cap of a jar of mayonnaise.

Count your blessings. You are one of a kind. There's no one in the world like you. You are amazing.

No one is perfect... absolutely no one. Like precious stones, we have a few flaws, but why focus on that? Focus on what you like about yourself, and that will bring you happiness and peace.

Energy is that amazing feeling that comes to life inside of you when you're happy and believe in yourself.

I've always practiced this: Love yourself. Move your body. Watch your portions.

There is no magic milkshake or workout machine. I think the real machine is your body. I do love treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, free weights.

Everyone in this world is somehow connected. So why not just be nice to everybody.

Imagination is highly suspect. Reality is what is beautiful. But we are blind to it because it is familiar.

The people I respect the least are the ones that take themselves way too seriously.

History releases me from my own experience and jogs my fictional imagination.

I have a lot of respect for people who are great at ad-libbing, and for writers and directors who are able to create a scene in which that works.

Everyday is a new life to a wise man.

I'm not melancholy; I'm a happy-go-lucky person, kind of silly. I like funny things. I have a lot of energy. I tend to like music that's mellow, though.

In the wake of Animal House, all of us at the Lampoon had a lot of Hollywood opportunities. We could definitely get people to return phone calls.

Earth is crammed with heavens.

It is not great talents God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus. A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God.

That is the way to lay the city flat, To bring the roof to the foundation, And bury all, which yet distinctly ranges, In heaps and piles of ruin.
