You can say anything you want to say about me. But don't you dare address overweight people with terrible names and ugly remarks. That is what upsets me.

There is no such thing as sleep deprivation, there is only caffeine deficiency.

If you don't love your mother you go straight to hell.
Richard Simmons -
Energy is that amazing feeling that comes to life inside of you when you're happy and believe in yourself.
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.

When I lost my weight, I went and bought about 15 different types of underwear to see what would look good on my new body. It's exciting!
Richard Simmons -
Ninety percent of people who lose weight gain it back. It's very sad.

One day I may be meeting you and hearing how you've changed your life by saying, "Farewell to Fat".

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'm like a stuffed toy. You've never met me, but if you did, you'd just want to take me home and put me in your child's room.
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.

I'm such a huge fan, and I've done classes of all Lady Gaga music. And she's just someone who evokes freedom and love for her fans and passion in what she does. Lady Gaga, I'll take you out for a salad anytime.
Richard Simmons -
I've been going to shopping malls since I was on General Hospital.
Richard Simmons -
I have 40 pounds to lose. It is not the fault of the fast food people, and anyone who's trying to sue the fast food places needs a therapist, not an attorney.

People need the court jester, so I keep that smile on and keep going out there to do what I do.
Richard Simmons -
Our children are obese, either have or being threatened by diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and not socially adjusting properly to others because of a lack of fitness.
Richard Simmons -
I hope in my lifetime we can all continue to laugh at ourselves and not put down anyone for what they weigh.

I began reading cook books when I was six, cause my father had hundreds of cook books in the kitchen. I was obsessed with cooking and tasting different recipes. I got lost in being a compulsive eater. It brought me much happiness. Sadness too, sure. But I have to say, and compulsive eaters will agree with me, for that few seconds that you're eating, food tastes just great.
Richard Simmons -
For 40 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 -
How do you get motivated? By knowing your worth. Americans do not know how worthy they are. You deserve to be healthy, but a lot of times, people have, as childs been told - as a children been told that they're no good, that they're never going to be anything else.

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 -
If I have to die, I want to combust in the middle of one of my classes.
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.
Richard Simmons -
Every day you eat is every day you have to work out.
