I Consider Myself A Court Jester -

When I Was Younger, I Ate Nothing But Fried Food. Everything Was Fried, From Oysters To Chicken To Potatoes To Vegetables. When You Die In New Orleans, They Deep Fry You Before They Put You In The Coffin. When We Baptize Children In New Orleans, We Baptize Them With A Bordelaise Sauce; We Don't Use Water.

When I Go To Teach, That's Not My Workout. It's My Show. I'm 134 Pounds - I'm A Teeny Thing. I Work Out 11/2 Hours A Day And Eat 1,600 Calories. I Can't Stray Because I Have To Fit Into These Dolfin Shorts!

I Do Consider Myself A Clown And A Court Jester, And I Do Love To Make People Laugh, Whether They're Laughing With Me Or At Me.

Stop Trying To Find Something In Food That Will Make You Feel Better. I Used To Have Eating Disorders; I'd Binge And Purge All The Time: Fried Oysters, Po' Boys, Muffulettas, Beignets, Coffee And Doughnuts. I Tried To Medicate Myself With Food When People Made Fun Of Me Or Hit Me With A Bat In School. I'd Always Turn To Food. Knowing What I Now Know, I'd Turn To Me.

If Anyone's Depressed For Any Reason, Whether A Relationship Has Fallen Apart Or They're Having Money Problems, Wearing Feathered Wings And A Tutu Takes You Into A Whole Other World. A Whole New Woooooorld, A World Of Bright And Shining Stars!
