It came to me that the one thing I could do was cook. And I figured I couldn't do any worse than the people running these places around town.

In 1968, 'Liberty Magazine' had an article about George Wallace in which he stated he would suggest me as a possible vice-presidential candidate, along with other choices such as 'Happy' Chandler and General Curtis LeMay. However, I am not interested in any political office in the United States or anywhere, now or back in 1968.

I've read hundreds of cookbooks. For my money, they are the bird.

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.

From 1840 to 1940, the circus was the biggest form of entertainment in the country. People were starting to have money, starting to have half a Saturday off. In an era before people went on vacations much, the big deal was when the circus came through town.

Making money is a happiness. And that's a great incentive. Making other people happy is a super-happiness.

The country needs someone with experience and determination to make tough decisions. All the money aside, it is important that Greece restore its reputation.

What's worth doing is worth doing for money.
