Reed reflects on dieting:
"I'm only drinking white wine because I'm on a diet and I don't eat. But the trouble is that when you drink it, you invariably meet other people drinking it. Then you get into it, especially if you start talking about football, fighting and Muhammad Ali. Then the ladies get very bored and start delivering ultimatums."

"I've been to a couple of Them (health spas). I went to one at Buckstead Park. I spent seven days playing Ping-Pong, which is quite frustrating becuase I'm not a very good Ping-Pong player--but it was certainly very good for the weight because you have to keep getting down to get the ball out from under the table. You get so weak from eating pears that you fall down, and then they come and take you away on a stretcher."

"I do think a carpenter needs a good hammer to bang in the nail. I think it's the same with life. If you're going to live a strenuous life, then the best thing to do is feed yourself. I'm not really into dieting. At the New York Athletic Club they serve amazing food. People go there, get healthy, and then eat themselves to death--which is, I suppose, the right way to do it."
