Every day after school, for three hours a day, I would sell those pralines on the street corner. I was just eight years old. I'd bring the money home to my parents and say, This is just the beginning.

More quotes by 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
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
This is my theater. This is where I can sing and act out a play and do sit-ups at the same time
Richard Simmons
Stop trying to find something in food that will make you feel better.

I really created my career out of my own compulsion. Because I knew if I owned an exercise studio and I had to teach my classes there, I wasn't going to gain my weight back.

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.

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
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.
Richard Simmons
If you want to get the body you've always dreamed of, you have to earn it.
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
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
I just love what I do, and I'm a teacher more than anything.
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
Ninety percent of people who lose weight gain it back. It's very sad.
Richard Simmons
I've never lived in the visual world. I live very much in an emotional-contact world.
Richard Simmons
I've never swayed from who I am. People have seen me on television, and they know what I'm like and they know what I do and they respect me for what I do. They know that I'm huggy and kissy.
Richard Simmons
I plan for the future, but the only day I really worry about is the day I'm living right now.
Richard Simmons
Truthfully, everyone knows how to eat right. They know the difference between oatmeal and a jelly cream doughnut. They know how to walk. Everyone has this in their brain. When I started, we didn't have all this knowledge. Forty years ago, I lost my weight, but only by watching what I was eating.

My nickname is Dickie Jukebox. I own thousands and thousands and thousands of songs.

I'm not going to be happy until every child in every school is physically active.
