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.

More quotes by Richard Simmons
I don't know about you, but every time some joker points me out as I walk through an airport wearing extra-small Dolfin shorts, a tank top and leg warmers, I get a little upset.
Richard Simmons
We overweight people, we say terrible things to ourselves. Oh, you wouldn't believe it. 'You fat pig. How can you do this? You're a disgusting jerk.' And that gets you nowhere. That gets you right back into a bowl of pasta fregula.
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 have loved deeply. I have lost intensely. I will never love again. I get that love by people who care for me.
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
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!
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 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
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
You know, if your parents didn't have you, they'd be living in a nicer home, driving a Mercedes-Benz, with money in the bank and a boat. But noooooo. They had to have you! You've got to give back!
Richard Simmons
If you want to get the body you've always dreamed of, you have to earn 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
I started my own class for people like me who can't find any place else to go.
Richard Simmons
For many years, my formula has been to love yourself, move your body and to watch portion size. But the No. 1 thing is to love and value yourself, no matter what you've been through.
Richard Simmons
Being successful is something that's sometimes hard to deal with.
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
People need the court jester, so I keep that smile on and keep going out there to do what I do.
