More quotes by Jenny McCarthy
If you ask 99.9 percent of parents who have children with autism if we'd rather have the measles versus autism, we'd sign up for the measles.
Jenny McCarthy
I tried a few times, unsuccessfully, to lose weight. It wasn't until I joined Weight Watchers that I was finally able to do it. I went to meetings and my son came with me. The best thing was that I could eat what I wanted and still lose weight. Slow and steady, I was getting my pre-pregnancy body back.
Jenny McCarthy
I'm not a sex symbol.
Jenny McCarthy
For a seriously autistic kid, the best prognosis might be getting into a mainstream school without being too much of a shadow. For a moderately autistic kid the best prognosis is full recovery.
Jenny McCarthy
What is missing from today's dialogue is the effect autism is having on families, our society and what the unknown factors are. The 300lb. gorilla in the room is that our children with autism today will soon become adults with autism.
Jenny McCarthy
When I first went public with my son Evan's story, I just planned to talk about the 'R' word - Recovery. But soon I was spending most my time talking about the 'V' word - vaccines.
Jenny McCarthy
I wanted to be in Jim Carrey comedy movies before I met him. I wanted to be a comedian on Stage 19, yukking it up.
Jenny McCarthy
The reason why [the medical community] is reluctant to talk about it is because there's such a huge business in pharmaceuticals.
Jenny McCarthy
Obviously, I'm not a trained actress, and right now I'll come out and say I'm glad I'm not.
Jenny McCarthy
I'm free of stress and worries now because if I don't like something I'm doing, I just find the fun in it instead of being miserable. Let me have fun with the people I work with, let me have fun making money - when I grew up so poor, ya know?
Jenny McCarthy
I figured out something spiritual. Billboard this: 'Life is supposed to be fun!'
Jenny McCarthy
I didn't have to work out before 35 but now I have to.
Jenny McCarthy
Corner one of the hundreds of doctors who specialize in autism recovery, and they'll tell you stories of dozens of kids in their practice who no longer have autism. Ask them to speak to the press and they'll run for the door. They know better.
Jenny McCarthy
I can't even begin to tell you how many casting couches I was attacked on. Not just by casting people, but by stars.
Jenny McCarthy
A talk show is difficult because the formula is always the same: there's a host and there's guests. Really what you can change is only so much. So, I don't have any pre-interviews, which forces real conversation.
Jenny McCarthy
Just keep trying, and your dreams will come true. But you have to give it all your time, effort, and soul.
Jenny McCarthy
I can't even begin to tell you how many casting couches I was attacked on. Not just by casting people, but by stars. And when I wouldn't give them my number, they'd say, Who the hell do you think you are? You will never make it in this town. I'll make sure of it.
Jenny McCarthy
Without intervention today, the cost of care for adults with autism will be significantly greater and the burden will no longer lie with the parents, but on our entire society.
Jenny McCarthy
The first time I punched in my name and saw how many sites there were, I thought, that's scary. I got too involved where I got worried and panicked and tried to stop it. But you know what, if I just let it go and not worry about it, then it will be fine. Because it's all about how it makes me feel and I was letting it get to me.
Jenny McCarthy
Without a doubt in my mind, I believe that vaccinations triggered Evan's autism.
Jenny McCarthy
