love-yourself moving body
I've always practiced this: Love yourself. Move your body. Watch your portions.
real pride loss
The real pride, the real present, is your health and your longevity. My whole career, I have never done anything where competition was involved with weight loss.
dream silly kids
My parents always told me to be myself. I was always funny and silly as a kid. And I would always make them laugh. And they always told me to dream big and follow those dreams.
children kids blood
Everyone in Senate is a hurdle, but everyone in there has children. Everyone in there has grandchildren. No one wants to see our kids continue to gain weight, have high blood pressure high cholesterol, diabetes, and depression.
hard-work care fine
Work hard, take care of yourself, and you'll be just fine.
song nicknames jukebox
My nickname is Dickie Jukebox. I own thousands and thousands and thousands of songs.
people like-family causes
People treat me like family, 'cause I've always treated them like family.
morning drinking meditation-practice
I get energy from meditation practice and from eating healthy fresh food, only one cup of espresso in the morning, and not drinking too much.
fun coffee school
Stop trying to find something in food that will make you feel better. I used to have eating disorders; I'd binge and purge all the time: fried oysters, po' boys, muffulettas, beignets, coffee and doughnuts. I tried to medicate myself with food when people made fun of me or hit me with a bat in school. I'd always turn to food.
real serious-person people
I'm a real paradox. Because I'm a very serious person, and I take my work very seriously. But I wrap it up in a court jester and a clown and make people laugh and make them feel good about themselves.
airports upset legs
I don't know about you, but every time some joker points me out as I walk through an airport wearing extra-small Dolfin shorts, a tank top and leg warmers, I get a little upset.
country believe tired
I get tired of negativity in our country. I get tired of people who only want to know dirt. I get tired of people who don't believe in themselves.
personal-life
I don't talk about my personal life, and I don't talk about death.
kings wife court
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.
