emotional world contact
I've never lived in the visual world. I live very much in an emotional-contact world.
thinking parent needs
Miley Cyrus, like all of us, needs to be loved. We all come from complicated parents I understand her, and I love her, and I think things will be different with her. But you know, in the music business, sometimes you have to shock a little.
husband phones years
I get an abundance of e-mail every day, some say 'dear Richard, can you call my husband, he weighs 400 pounds...' or 'my 14-year-old is 200 pounds...' or 'I just got divorced, no one wants me, I am 500 pounds.' So I pick up the phone and I call people.
people answers certain
If people confront me with certain questions, if they are not right, I will not answer them.
workout work-out pounds
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!
shopping hospitality malls
I've been going to shopping malls since I was on General Hospital.
children people care
I just want people to get off the back burner of their life and start to take better care of themselves and their children.
people persons offers
I don't have a lot to offer one person. I have a lot to offer to a lot of people.
cake fudge way
I could be hit by a Sara Lee truck tomorrow. Which is not a bad way of going: 'Richard Simmons Found in a Freeway in Pound Cake and Fudge, With a Smile on His Face.' Let's face it. We don't know anything.
running growing-up exercise
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.
children home want
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.
funny farewell one-day
One day I may be meeting you and hearing how you've changed your life by saying, "Farewell to Fat".
lonely heart weight-problems
When you're feeling down, sad, lonely, negative, you don't want to take care of yourself - and the weight problem and the diabetic problem and the heart attack and stroke problems and high cholesterol set in.
teacher strong night
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.
