I'm an authentic person: I can talk about diabetes and how it affects you because I'm actually diabetic, and I know how much help a person needs, whether it's support physically or just understanding and being conscious of what diabetes really is.

If somebody asks you the same questions 25 times, maybe 2,500 times, do you still want to talk about the same thing?

How can another man call another man boss? That's like calling another man 'Daddy.'

I got cribs all over the place and offices all over the place, and sometimes I lose track of my stuff.

As for restaurants and fast-food places who tip tons of oil down their drains, they are routinely encouraged to use fat traps, but enforcement is minimal. It costs money to cart away fat (although now that fat is being turned into energy, it can make money).

I really don't like being on television. It makes me uneasy. It is not natural to be talking to a piece of machinery. But the money is very good.

In an ideal world, nobody's work would be just about the money. People could pursue excellence in what they do, take pride in achievement, and derive meaning from knowing that their work improved the lives of others.

I have long believed the corporate world is plagued by poor capital allocation decisions.
