More quotes by 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
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
My way is the sensitive, emotional way, because that's who I am. A day doesn't go by where I don't sit and cry, listening to the stories. I try to be the clown and court jester and make people laugh.
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
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've been offered big money to promote machines. And high-protein diets, when that was really popular. There was always some new powder or diet plan that somebody wanted to put my name on.
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
For my workout, I'm up at 4am. I say my prayers, count my blessings, and I work out right away. I just get it done. One day I'll tone - chest, back and shoulders - and the next day it's biceps and triceps. I also do 45 minutes of cardio every day. I do that before I even leave the house.
Richard Simmons
When I talk to kids who are overweight, I see my face on their bodies.
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'm a very insecure and emotional person still looking to be loved by everyone else.
Richard Simmons
If I've got the right songs, I can weave a spell over everyone.
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
I never say anything negative about anyone, because that won't get you anywhere.
Richard Simmons
For my workout, I'm up at 4 A.M. I say my prayers, count my blessings, and I work out right away. I just get it done.
Richard Simmons
When I go to teach, that's not my workout. It's my show. I'm 134 pounds - I'm a teeny thing. I work out 11/2 hours a day and eat 1,600 calories. I can't stray because I have to fit into these Dolfin shorts!
Richard Simmons
I have rules about eating, exercising and rules about staying positive. And these rules are sacred to me.
Richard Simmons
I just love what I do, and I'm a teacher more than anything.
Richard Simmons
If anyone's depressed for any reason, whether a relationship has fallen apart or they're having money problems, wearing feathered wings and a tutu takes you into a whole other world. A whole new woooooorld, a world of bright and shining stars!
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
