More quotes by Richard Simmons
This is my theater. This is where I can sing and act out a play and do sit-ups at the same time
Richard Simmons
My nickname is Dickie Jukebox. I own thousands and thousands and thousands of songs.
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
Well mine is not gimmicky - it is the 6 food groups that God made, and exercising every day. Trying to think positively.
Richard Simmons
I'm a very insecure and emotional person still looking to be loved by everyone else.
Richard Simmons
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
Our children are obese, either have or being threatened by diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and not socially adjusting properly to others because of a lack of fitness.
Richard Simmons
If I've got the right songs, I can weave a spell over everyone.
Richard Simmons
I've never swayed from who I am. People have seen me on television, and they know what I'm like and they know what I do and they respect me for what I do. They know that I'm huggy and kissy.
Richard Simmons
I give people permission to be kids again.
Richard Simmons

Ninety percent of people who lose weight gain it back. It's very sad.
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
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.
Richard Simmons
I'm not going to be happy until every child in every school is physically active.
Richard Simmons
Truthfully, everyone knows how to eat right. They know the difference between oatmeal and a jelly cream doughnut. They know how to walk. Everyone has this in their brain. When I started, we didn't have all this knowledge. Forty years ago, I lost my weight, but only by watching what I was eating.
Richard Simmons
I've been offered big money to promote machines. And high-protein diets, when that was really popular. There was always some new powder or diet plan that somebody wanted to put my name on.
Richard Simmons
For my workout, I'm up at 4 A.M. I say my prayers, count my blessings, and I work out right away. I just get it done.
