I was going to be a singer. If I hadn't been in my profession, I was going to be an Opera singer. That's from a young kid. I had all these records from all those famous Opera singers. I wanted to be an Opera singer -- that was my whole thing and physical fitness got in the way, thank God. - Jack LaLanne
I was the worst, most sickly kid of all - 30 pounds underweight. The girls used to beat me up. Actually I was a mean kid, early on because I had no self-esteem. - Jack LaLanne

Well, for me, what I've learned at the very end of this, love is sharing, and I think that really is, for me, the best place to go to experience love, is sharing. - Jason Mraz
