When you're feeling down, sad, lonely, negative, you don't want to take care of yourself - and the weight problem and the diabetic problem and the heart attack and stroke problems and high cholesterol set in.
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.
Even though my work is whimsical. I have a very serious job. I cry more than I laugh.
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.
