More quotes by Richard Simmons
My nickname is Dickie Jukebox. I own thousands and thousands and thousands of songs.
Richard Simmons
I have 40 pounds to lose. It is not the fault of the fast food people, and anyone who's trying to sue the fast food places needs a therapist, not an attorney.
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
Everyone's under pressure and you just have to learn how to deal with it. And I deal with it through prayer and staying busy.
Richard Simmons
When I was younger, I ate nothing but fried food. Everything was fried, from oysters to chicken to potatoes to vegetables. When you die in New Orleans, they deep fry you before they put you in the coffin. When we baptize children in New Orleans, we baptize them with a bordelaise sauce we don't use water.
Richard Simmons
A kid who moves is a kid who learns.
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
For many years, my formula has been to love yourself, move your body and to watch portion size. But the No. 1 thing is to love and value yourself, no matter what you've been through.
Richard Simmons
I just love what I do, and I'm a teacher more than anything.
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
Sleep is critical to me ... at least eight or nine hours a night. I start to slow down my body and my mind at least 30 minutes before I get into bed. I don't watch any disturbing or invigorating TV at night.
Richard Simmons
I'm a very insecure and emotional person still looking to be loved by everyone else.
Richard Simmons
I sort of think of myself as part priest, part clown.
Richard Simmons
Being successful is something that's sometimes hard to deal with.
Richard Simmons
It's not nice to make fun of people with issues.
Richard Simmons
If your oxygen mask drops down, it's time to take a breather!
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 might as well be gay. And not just because I love rhinestones and Barbara Streisand. But because Im a sensitive person who is supportive of gay people the same way Im sensitive to grossly obese people and ugly people.
Richard Simmons
When I talk to kids who are overweight, I see my face on their bodies.
Richard Simmons
There is no such thing as sleep deprivation, there is only caffeine deficiency.
