When I was growing up, I did not exercise at all. I was raised in the French Quarter in New Orleans. If I saw someone running, I would call the police because I thought they stole something on Royal Street.
My nickname is Dickie Jukebox. I own thousands and thousands and thousands of songs.
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.
There are sacrifices you have to make. I don't have a lot to offer one person. I have a lot to offer to a lot of people.
Count your blessings. You are one of a kind. There's no one in the world like you. You are amazing.
I've never lived in the visual world. I live very much in an emotional-contact world.
I've always practiced this: Love yourself. Move your body. Watch your portions.
I'm such a huge fan, and I've done classes of all Lady Gaga music. And she's just someone who evokes freedom and love for her fans and passion in what she does. Lady Gaga, I'll take you out for a salad anytime.
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.
I'm not into any show that makes people compete when they lose weight.
I have loved deeply. I have lost intensely. I will never love again. I get that love by people who care for me.
I've been going to shopping malls since I was on General Hospital.
Every morning when I get up, I ask God what he wants me to do, ask him to lead me to the right people to help them.
I start phone calls at 4 A.M. to cheer people up. The housebound, people in the hospital. People who, after decades, still can't get over what happened 10 or 15 years ago.
Sometimes it's just 'Oh my God, I love the taste of fried oysters on French bread with mayonnaise and an order of French fries.' I'm not going to lie to you - I deal with that temptation every single day, many times.
I spent my childhood eating. The only exercise I got was trying to twist off the cap of a jar of mayonnaise.
