More quotes by Richard Simmons
That's what the majority of people in the world do, they walk among the ruins of their life. Things that didn't work out, relationships that went sour, jobs that disappeared. All they can think about is their ruins, and when you focus on that you can't build a new you.

My life is just a never-ending work in progress.
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
Most workouts are way too aggressive. Thousands of lunges wear out the body. It's not healthy for the one with the bad back, bad knees, diabetes. I'm never going to do that.
Richard Simmons
Everything I did with my life I did so that I could give my parents everything they didn't have because of me.
Richard Simmons
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.

Singing is good for the soul. It's the first thing I do every morning, after my blessings and my grace. I put music on and I sing.
Richard Simmons
I took desperate measures to lose weight and did terrible things to myself. I went from diet pills to thirty laxatives a day to throwing up.
Richard Simmons
Some people like to look at pictures of themselves before they lost weight. I don't particularly care for that. Whenever I was overweight, it was a very sad time in my life.
Richard Simmons
When you gain weight, for every pound that you gain, it adds four pounds of stress on your knees. So if you gain five pounds, you've got 20 pounds of stress on your knees. So that's why I'm extremely careful with my portions and my workout, because I can't be overweight.
Richard Simmons
I really created my career out of my own compulsion. Because I knew if I owned an exercise studio and I had to teach my classes there, I wasn't going to gain my weight back.
Richard Simmons
I do not want any child in America to have my childhood because it was taken away from me because I just wasn't good enough well I am good enough now.
Richard Simmons
I consider myself a court jester - motivator.
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 need the court jester, so I keep that smile on and keep going out there to do what I do.
Richard Simmons
I have loved deeply. I have lost intensely. I will never love again. I get that love by people who care for me.
Richard Simmons
If you want to get the body you've always dreamed of, you have to earn it. You can't buy it, you can't rent it. You have to earn it. My formula has always been love yourself, move your body, watch your portions. And it sounds so easy, but it is not.
Richard Simmons
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!
