People treat me like family, 'cause I've always treated them like family.

Every morning when I get up, I ask God what he wants me to do, ask him to lead me to the right people to help them.

I get tired of negativity in our country. I get tired of people who only want to know dirt. I get tired of people who don't believe in themselves.

Sometimes it's just 'Oh my God, I love the taste of fried oysters on French bread with mayonnaise and an order of French fries.' I'm not going to lie to you - I deal with that temptation every single day, many times.

I try to be the clown and court jester and make people laugh. At the same time, you have people in the hospital who have had gastric bypass or lap-band surgery and they still have to work out. If you don't work out and eat healthy, you'll look like a melted candle.
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 -
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.

I never say anything negative about anyone, because that won't get you anywhere.

I'm 64, but I act like I'm still 12. I go to schools. At colleges, they come out in droves, they almost scare me. I think it's just to see if I'm still alive. After I work them out - and it's not easy - I sit them down and we have a serious talk. Are they eating? Working on their body? I can say things parents won't say. No matter where I go, I talk to each one individually after I teach. They tell me things like, 'I'm starving, guys like girls thinner.' I give them concrete advice about self-image and self-worth.

I've always practiced this: Love yourself. Move your body. Watch your portions.
Richard Simmons -
Even though my work is whimsical. I have a very serious job. I cry more than I laugh.
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 -
My parents always told me to be myself. I was always funny and silly as a kid. And I would always make them laugh. And they always told me to dream big and follow those dreams.
Richard Simmons -
I sort of think of myself as part priest, part clown.

A kid who moves is a kid who learns.

Count your blessings. You are one of a kind. There's no one in the world like you. You are amazing.
Richard Simmons -
I don't have a lot to offer one person. I have a lot to offer to a lot of people.

What if you can't do what you once did, like run and jump up and down? You can walk, which is also good for your mind and mental attitude. You can do simpler exercises, like getting up and down from a chair without using your hands. You can stay fairly flexible. The most important thing is to not become sedentary.

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."
Richard Simmons -
I just strive to do better. Every time I meet somebody, I ask myself, "How can I help this person?"

It's not nice to make fun of people with issues.
Richard Simmons -
I'm a very insecure and emotional person still looking to be loved by everyone else.
Richard Simmons -
The real pride, the real present, is your health and your longevity.
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.
