When I gain a pound it's in the headlines.

My weight has fluctuated my whole life, and because I've been on television since I was 11 years old, everyone has seen it.

I was raised to be self-conscious about weight. Then as I got older and started doing television, it became a career issue, like, 'You have to lose weight or you'll lose that job.'

When I start to get that few pounds, which I try to monitor, then I just pull back. So it's really just being conscious.

People always think you have a lot of money when they see you on TV.

You can't get any braver than going on national television to be weighed.

I never weigh myself, but the brutal truth of television is that they don't employ old people or fat people.

After working for TV, you realise that the majority of the population still wonders where their next meal is coming from.

The irony of our social group is that so often everyone feels this, but there's no company whatsoever in that feeling. Think of Pound's great emphasis, the way out is via the door.

Weight is just not a hot button. In fact, during my life, it probably should have been on my radar screen a bit more. I look back at work photos and am shocked. Was I eating the people I was interviewing?! Good Lord, I was big.
