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
Even though my work is whimsical. I have a very serious job. I cry more than I laugh.

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
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.
Richard Simmons
I just love what I do, and I'm a teacher more than anything.
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
It's terrible, the way obese children and adults are treated in this country [USA]. And I'm not leaving this Earth until that is changed.
Richard Simmons
I sort of think of myself as part priest, part clown.
Richard Simmons
I was born with a crippled leg. I wore a corrective shoes since I was three years old and I still wear them.
Richard Simmons
People are still grasping for the miracle, and unfortunately, there are no miracles, if you do not exercise for a year, and let your body remain dormant, then you will gain weight.
