Suzanne Somers: Contrary to what everyone thinks, I am not a fanatic. I do work out when I'm not on the road, three times a week for 40 minutes. I happen to have the benefit of having a son-in-law who was the former Mr. France and a trainer. I like being his benefactor and I like the way he works. When he shows up at my house I feel too guilty to send him away. He keeps me on track. I have a tendency to be a little lazy.

The way I most enjoy exercising is hiking, like out on the dig like Iwas on today. Alan and I have a tandem bike. I like just moving and having it be enjoyable. I think that's a shift in thinking too. You just have to do something. You don't have to be a fanatic; you don't have to do three hours in the gym.
I actually have never been to a gym. I haven't had time. I have been working for the last 25 years. I just don't have time to put on a little outfit and go to the gym and work out and clean up and come home. That's a half a day!
I actually have never been to a gym. I haven't had time. I have been working for the last 25 years. I just don't have time to put on a little outfit and go to the gym and work out and clean up and come home. That's a half a day. I don't think that many people can go other than the really young without families and obligations; that's about the only group that can go.
Cheri Sicard: I bet you are the only person in Hollywood that can say they've never been to a gym!
Suzanne Somers: Probably, but you can get it by moving in an enjoyable way. If you are eating this way, it keeps you toned up.
Cheri Sicard: The last question I have is that a lot of people know you through your television shows and your books, but they are missing part of the picture. You're so diversified, how do you keep it all together?
Suzanne Somers: I find that one of the most curious things is that I have fractionalized audiences. I have people who only know me from the books. That is fractionalized too because there is one group that only reads about abuse and the effects of alcoholism and then there is the other group that is only about the weight loss. Then there are people who come to nightclubs. Then there are the ones who only know me from television. Then there is the Home Shopping group. Then there are the ones who know me from fitness. Then there are the people who know me from the lectures. What I am really trying to do, what I need to accomplish at this time, is to fill in the gaps.
There is a general knowledge that I am multi-dimensional, that when you are creative you do a lot of things. I am very passionate about the effects of addictions on families because that's what happened to me. All my books have dealt with the passages of my own life. You can kind of just follow what I'm going through by the books that I am writing. I find that people are coming along with me. What I really need is for people to know that I don't just do this, I do this and this and this and this. We all have creativity in us and we all are multi-dimensional and we are all interested in a lot of things and that women are fabulous. We can handle a lot of things. This being is a woman is not for sissies.
Cheri Sicard: I agree.
Suzanne Somers: My most recent book 365 Ways to Change Your Life is to me, my crowning glory. I love this book. I wrote it. It came out of me like butter. I think all it needs is a groundswell, but when women read this book they will know what I am talking about because we are all going through the same thing.
Cheri Sicard: Well Suzanne, it's been great. Thank you very much for talking to us.
Suzanne Somers: I appreciate your interest. Thank you.
