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.

More quotes by Richard Simmons
Count your blessings. You are one of a kind. There's no one in the world like you. You are amazing.
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
The real pride, the real present, is your health and your longevity. My whole career, I have never done anything where competition was involved with weight loss.
Richard Simmons
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.
Richard Simmons
Everyone has a story that makes me stronger. I know that the work I do is important and I enjoy it, but it is nice to hear the feedback of what we do to inspire others.
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
If you want to get the body you've always dreamed of, you have to earn it.
Richard Simmons
Comedy, not screaming at someone, can make someone lift their legs higher. There is a way to do a push-up and a sit-up, and it doesn't have to be so complicated. Everyone is putting a difficult twist to it and making you do way too much.
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
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
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
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'm like a stuffed toy. You've never met me, but if you did, you'd just want to take me home and put me in your child's room.
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
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
Ninety percent of people who lose weight gain it back. It's very sad.
Richard Simmons
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.
Richard Simmons
When I talk to kids who are overweight, I see my face on their bodies.
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'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
