I think every parent, every generation has wanted their children to do better and have a higher standard of living. But I think there's too much guilt.
I think I've got the best staff in television.
I've talked to so many people, men and women alike, that get overweight and their self-esteem just goes in the tank. They think they're judged. They think they're unattractive.
I think you're running into a lot of trouble if your idea of foreplay is, 'Brace yourself honey, here I come!
Do it! People who succeed don't just sit and think about what they want to do. They take meaningful, purposeful, directional action consistently and persistently. Every step they take puts them toward the outcome they're looking for.
People have the right to think and say whatever they want to. But you have the right not to take it to heart, and not to react.
Eighty percent of all choices are based on fear. Most people don't choose what they want; they choose what they think is safe.
Really, everybody sometimes will think about Christmas, Christmases past, like it was a Currier & Ives print, you know, the candle in the window, the snow on the sill, and isn't this wonderful? But the truth was Uncle Harry got drunk, the kids were fighting over the toys, there wasn't enough money, you overate.
Not everybody is some kind of media model.
Now, my body fat runs around 18 percent, which is normal and, you know, kind of in the middle of normal, actually.
As parents we're not nearly as computer literate as our children are.
What I want people to do is what's healthy for them.
I don't care how pumped up or psyched you are to start a new diet or a new program - that emotion will fade.
Nothing's funnier to me than laughing at myself.
