I get tired of negativity in our country. I get tired of people who only want to know dirt. I get tired of people who don't believe in themselves.
Richard Simmons
I just strive to do better. Every time I meet somebody, I ask myself, How can I help this person?
Richard Simmons
I've been going to shopping malls since I was on General Hospital.
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.
