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.

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

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

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

My life is devoted to business and supporting my family. ”
