I'm a real paradox. Because I'm a very serious person, and I take my work very seriously. But I wrap it up in a court jester and a clown and make people laugh and make them feel good about themselves.

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.

A kid who moves is a kid who learns.

People need the court jester, so I keep that smile on and keep going out there to do what I do.

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.

Everything I did with my life I did so that I could give my parents everything they didn't have because of me.

Right now many schools have no recess. Most schools have no PE.
