I found that nothing that anybody else said to me would work.

One day I actually took the list into the bathroom and I put it up against my face and looked in the mirror and I realized I had one of two choices, change the list or change myself.

I was in the middle of a crossroads, which is a nice way of saying crisis, physically, emotionally and spiritually. You know the physical part. We just talked about it.

And I had this big, long list of what I wanted in a guy but I realized I didn't stack up to the list myself.

I mean, on the television, I've got to continue to be Star Jones Reynolds. And I enjoy that. But in my real life, I'm a wife now. You can't really be bossy when you're married.

No, you're not allowed to be bossy when you're married. You have to learn compromise, and compassion and patience.

Barbara did the selecting and that's probably the most brilliant thing was she put together a group of women, different backgrounds, different experiences.

I think for a couple of years I was believing that I was doing it all on my own and I wasn't.

We fight a lot, you know, but that's family. We may be dysfunctional but we're still family.

No, I don't want to exercise all the time. I still despise it, not at all.

Oh, definitely and you know you take the bitter with the sweet but the benefits far outweigh the burdens of what I've been able to do for my family, my word.

Sometimes when, you know, God tries to correct you in private and if you don't catch it he'll correct you in public.

I was a prosecutor in Brooklyn in the homicide division and then as a senior assistant district attorney.

Yes and, you know, I can't use the nice words anymore because I used to chicken out by using them. I used to call myself plus size, used to call myself chubby. I used to call myself overweight.

Not really in all honesty because until you take control of your own health and go to your own doctor and have your own doctor tell you what's going to work for you.

I found that nothing that anybody else said to me would work.

I guess the President says the majority of the people didn't elect him, he doesn't have to listen to 'em anyway.

In all honesty my cake was baking when I met Al - I had made up in my mind already to get physically healthy. He refreshingly was on his own journey so it was almost as if we walked together.

I realized that in those nine seasons I started out at about 225 pounds and I felt, you know, full figured fabulous woman but in those seasons I gained 75 pounds up to over 300 pounds all in front of the nation.

And I tried it and I felt, I guess I must have been pulled in by the red light of television and now I've been on TV since 1992.

I'm fairly in tune with what's private with my husband and with me.

I can get whatever I want to eat and when you, you know, you forget to eat you sometimes pick up fast food.

Yes, I know and then in the same time period within those nine years I lost 150 pounds.

I want the big drama. I always said I don't want a wedding I want a parade.

I want people to make the same choice I made to get healthy.

I had started losing weight. I mean he didn't know anything about the journey that I was on at that point obviously but from my highest weight of just over 300 pounds I lost about 45 pounds.

This is the time that I really miss being in my courtroom because I believe that that's the last place in this country where there's supposed to be fairness.

My dad taught me true words you have to use in every relationship. Yes, baby.

The toughest part was doing it in front of the world and recognizing that you had gotten to a point where if you didn't do something you were going to die.

You can have financial strength, professional strength, emotional strength but for me without spiritual strength none of the rest of it matters.

I felt good full figured. Morbidly obese I was unhealthy and dying.

Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.

The present contains nothing more than the past, and what is found in the effect was already in the cause.

There are those, I know, who will reply that the liberation of humanity, the freedom of man and mind, is nothing but a dream. They are right. It is. It is the American Dream.

Well, after I had the heart attack, it was a very simple choice. What the doctor told me I did and I did it religiously. I ate nothing but lean turkey breast or chicken breast or a piece of fish that was very lean. I mean I stayed away from everything.

My life is so full of surprises, nothing surprises me any more.

Excuses change nothing, but make everyone feel better.

It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little.

They haul you up there for, you know, week after week in this kind of star chamber proceeding. Then at the end of it they say, well, we found nothing, but now it's time for special counsel.

Why are there beings at all, instead of Nothing?

Always, your work is the same: You have to tell a story, you have to make a character. It doesn't matter if there are thousands of dollars, millions behind it, or if there is nothing.

There's nothing worse than talking about yourself to find out that you're not that interesting.

In the kingdom of heaven it is His work that will be crowned, not yours. Anything in you that He has not wrought Himself will count for nothing.

If nothing is to be done in the given situation, he must invent plausible reasons for doing nothing; and if something must be done, he must suggest the something. The unpardonable sin is to propose nothing, when action is imperative.

There is nothing more agreeable in life than to make peace with the Establishment - and nothing more corrupting.

There is sometimes a peculiar confusion in the West that equates progress to whatever is recent or whatever is new, and it is time we understood that progress has nothing to do with the chronology of an idea.

I think I had a more European outlook about the body and sex. The body is in no way dirty, and sex is something beautiful to give to and share with a lover. It has nothing to do with promiscuity, because I only believe in being in love with one man at a time.

Nothing is ever guaranteed, and all that came before doesn't predicate what you might do next.
