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

Scientists are a bunch of romantics.

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

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?

There's no reason to be the richest man in the cemetery. You can't do any business from there.

The food I've liked in my time is American country cookin'.

I think a dream is just a suggestion to start something out, do something.
