I feel differently immediately when I start to put weight on. I don't like that sluggish, blunted disposition that I have when that happens.

We're all human beings, but some of us are more sophisticated at covering our flaws. We're just smart enough to lie to ourselves that everything is OK.

If you can laugh your way through life, you can have a good time as you're going through the sometimes troubling time that we have in our lives.

Food - I love nuts. I eat them all the time, they're easy to carry around, and I am never hungry all day long.

I don't operate on smokers. I tell cigarette smokers that I can operate on you, I get paid the same. And you might even do well. But it's the wrong thing to do. So I refuse to operate on you until you stop smoking.
