Quote

I could be hit by a Sara Lee truck tomorrow. Which is not a bad way of going: 'Richard Simmons Found in a Freeway in Pound Cake and Fudge, With a Smile on His Face.' Let's face it. We don't know anything.

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.

A kid who moves is a kid who learns.
Richard Simmons
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I have rules about eating, exercising and rules about staying positive. And these rules are sacred to me.
Richard Simmons
Image
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.

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.

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.

I consider myself a court jester - motivator.
Richard Simmons
Image
I'm a real paradox. Because I'm a very serious person, and I take my work very seriously. But I wrap it up in a court jester and a clown and make people laugh and make them feel good about themselves.
Richard Simmons
Image
I just strive to do better. Every time I meet somebody, I ask myself, How can I help this person?
Richard Simmons
Image
My nickname is Dickie Jukebox. I own thousands and thousands and thousands of songs.

I never say anything negative about anyone, because that won't get you anywhere.

I'm such a huge fan, and I've done classes of all Lady Gaga music. And she's just someone who evokes freedom and love for her fans and passion in what she does. Lady Gaga, I'll take you out for a salad anytime.

I think at the age of 50, everyone should write their own autobiography.
Richard Simmons
Image
People need the court jester, so I keep that smile on and keep going out there to do what I do.

But if you pick up every other magazine, it is the peanut butter diet, or the cabbage soup diet, and then you go to the radio and you hear that you can drink some solution and you will lose weight overnight. It just does not work that way!

My life is just a never-ending work in progress.

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.
