Even though my work is whimsical. I have a very serious job. I cry more than I laugh.
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.
Most workouts are way too aggressive. Thousands of lunges wear out the body.
For my workout, I'm up at 4 A.M. I say my prayers, count my blessings, and I work out right away. I just get it done.
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.
I get an abundance of e-mail every day, some say 'dear Richard, can you call my husband, he weighs 400 pounds...' or 'my 14-year-old is 200 pounds...' or 'I just got divorced, no one wants me, I am 500 pounds.' So I pick up the phone and I call people.
