More quotes by Richard Simmons
I've never lived in the visual world. I live very much in an emotional-contact world.
Richard Simmons
When I was growing up, I did not exercise at all. I was raised in the French Quarter in New Orleans. If I saw someone running, I would call the police because I thought they stole something on Royal Street.
Richard Simmons
I don't know about you, but every time some joker points me out as I walk through an airport wearing extra-small Dolfin shorts, a tank top and leg warmers, I get a little upset.
Richard Simmons
I'm like a stuffed toy. You've never met me, but if you did, you'd just want to take me home and put me in your child's room.
Richard Simmons
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!
Richard Simmons
When I go to bed at night, I ask God to give me another day I ask him to keep me strong and make me a good teacher and to keep spreading this right word.
Richard Simmons
People are still grasping for the miracle, and unfortunately, there are no miracles, if you do not exercise for a year, and let your body remain dormant, then you will gain weight.
Richard Simmons
For my workout, I'm up at 4am. I say my prayers, count my blessings, and I work out right away. I just get it done. One day I'll tone - chest, back and shoulders - and the next day it's biceps and triceps. I also do 45 minutes of cardio every day. I do that before I even leave the house.
Richard Simmons
I start phone calls at 4 A.M. to cheer people up. The housebound, people in the hospital. People who, after decades, still can't get over what happened 10 or 15 years ago.
Richard Simmons
People need the court jester, so I keep that smile on and keep going out there to do what I do.
Richard Simmons
I think at the age of 50, everyone should write their own autobiography.
Richard Simmons
Back in the 70s and 80s, women felt the discrimination of being overweight. And now 35% of the letters I receive are from men.
Richard Simmons
I don't have to teach anymore, I don't have to work anymore, God has been really good to me.
Richard Simmons
My nickname is Dickie Jukebox. I own thousands and thousands and thousands of songs.
Richard Simmons
I'm not going to be happy until every child in every school is physically active.
Richard Simmons
It's not nice to make fun of people with issues.
Richard Simmons
I plan for the future, but the only day I really worry about is the day I'm living right now.
Richard Simmons
I have two rules for living in the world. I never say anything negative about anyone, because that won't get you anywhere. And two, if people confront me with certain questions, if they are not right, I will not answer them.
Richard Simmons
My life is just a never-ending work in progress.
Richard Simmons
Every day after school, for three hours a day, I would sell those pralines on the street corner. I was just eight years old. I'd bring the money home to my parents and say, This is just the beginning.
