We overweight people, we say terrible things to ourselves. Oh, you wouldn't believe it. 'You fat pig. How can you do this? You're a disgusting jerk.' And that gets you nowhere. That gets you right back into a bowl of pasta fregula.

Fat is a way of saying no to powerlessness and self-denial.

Don't assume that all fat people are gluttons. And don't use the word 'fat.' There is a principle here. Learn from logic and experience not to associate things - especially in preaching - that don't necessarily go together.

Fat is your friend. The brain thrives on a fat-rich, low-carbohydrate diet.

I don't see myself as a philosopher. That's awfully boring.

'Grease' changed my life in the most amazing way, and I've had such an amazing life. When things go wrong, you've got to believe you will get through them and focus on the positive things in your life.

I'm not a philosopher, I'm just a simple boy from East Ham.

I'm, like, a compulsive eater. I'm going to be so fat when I'm older, it's ridiculous.

I'm not a greasy food guy. I don't eat like that.

Don't waste so much time thinking about how much you weigh. There is no more mind-numbing, boring, idiotic, self-destructive diversion from the fun of living.
