Puberty for me was graduating from Thousand Island salad dressing to Caesar salads. It was like going from hot dogs and hamburgers to beef stroganoff, or from ice cream in a cone to creme brulee.

When we're binging, we do not think about death. We just think about how good it tastes.
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 have rules about eating, exercising and rules about staying positive. And these rules are sacred to me.
Richard Simmons
I started my own class for people like me who can't find any place else to go.

Most workouts are way too aggressive. Thousands of lunges wear out the body. It's not healthy for the one with the bad back, bad knees, diabetes. I'm never going to do that.

Being successful is something that's sometimes hard to deal with.
Richard Simmons
I sort of think of myself as part priest, part clown.

That's what the majority of people in the world do, they walk among the ruins of their life. Things that didn't work out, relationships that went sour, jobs that disappeared. All they can think about is their ruins, and when you focus on that you can't build a new you.

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.

I've been going to shopping malls since I was on General Hospital.

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
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
There's a list of foods I can't have in the house. Peanut butter, can't have that in the house. Potato chips, can't have that in the house. Random little small mini candy bars, don't even think about it. I just have to watch everything. I have to stay between 1500 and 1600 calories a day. That's it.
Richard Simmons
Back in the 70s and 80s, women felt the discrimination of being overweight. And now 35% of the letters I receive are from men.
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 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
When I go to bed, I ask God to give me one more day tomorrow. When I get it, I'm excited and grateful.
Richard Simmons
I consider myself a court jester - motivator.
