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.

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.

Johnny Winter is one of the best blues players in the world. He's very underrated.

The world is... the natural setting of, and field for, all my thoughts and all my explicit perceptions. Truth does not inhabit only the inner man, or more accurately, there is no inner man, man is in the world, and only in the world does he know himself.

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.

Christians should never fail to sense the operation of an angelic glory. It forever eclipses the world of demonic powers, as the sun does a candle's light.

I do believe there are leaders who are like lightning and they come along and they lead. The Lincolns of the world, the Alexander the Greats, they do exist. They have existed.

Scientific corporations might well become almost independent states and be enabled to undertake their largest experiments without consulting the outside world - a world which would be less and less able to judge what the experiments were about.

To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour.

The painter... does not fit the paints to the world. He most certainly does not fit the world to himself. He fits himself to the paint. The self is the servant who bears the paintbox and its inherited contents.

The world has fundamentally changed. It fundamentally changed when the Berlin Wall came down and the 'evil empire' ceased to exist. We are engaged around the world whether we like it or not.

I think having eight kids evens things out a bit. You learn about the world; you learn about the world; you learn you've got to get along. We're all - if anything - very adjustable.

The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.

It's about how to bring together the seemingly contradictory aspects of the memorial, which is about a tragedy and how it changed the world, but also about creating a vital and beautiful city of the 21st century.

The world remains ever the same.

Education is a private matter between the person and the world of knowledge and experience, and has little to do with school or college.
