Our customers, system, and shareholders are best served when we direct our focus and energy towards executing against these critical customer expectations.

We are putting the customer at the center of everything we do and are directing our resources towards those innovations and investments that will strengthen our ability to deliver a better McDonald's experience over time.

Whether that's in communications or marketing or strategy, you need people to come in with a fresh perspective.

When you get an invitation to come back and be part of the team that will be the architect of the next generation of growth, when you get an opportunity in a business of the size and scope of McDonald's, that's incredibly attractive.

Tour isn't good for writing, but it's good for inspiration.

I have lived with my husband more than I have with my parents... I live beside him, and know his worries, his hopes, and his dreams for his nation. We believe that things happen by design, not in an arbitrary way. And we believe it is our duty to make things happen.

When you have a dream and you believe in yourself and you have people believe in you, you just do whatever it takes to try to achieve that.

When we get the private sector going through job creation and growth, then the governments at all level have revenues to do the things that they need to do. And that's why it's so important to get this economy moving, to get jobs created. We can't keep going on with this anemic recovery.
