I'm too drunk to taste this chicken

I am not too proud of having my name associated with some of my restaurants.

You got to like your work. You have got to like what you are doing, you have got to be doing something worthwhile so you can like it - because it is worthwhile, that it makes a difference, don't you see?

No hours, nor amount of labor, nor amount of money would deter me from giving the best that there was in me.

Work is the basis of living. I'll never retire. A man'll rust out quicker than he'll wear out.

I just say the moral out of my life is don't quit at age 65, maybe your boat hasn't come in yet. Mine hadn't.

I've only had two rules. Do all you can and do it the best you can. It's the only way you ever get that feeling of accomplishing something.
