I am living proof that the American dream still exists. It is still alive and well. There is only one trick, you have to be willing to roll up your sleeves and work very, very hard.

More quotes by Paula Deen
You know, nobody can ever cook as good as your mama.
Paula Deen
There was one thing my daddy wouldn't tolerate in any shape, form or fashion, and that was being unkind or rude to somebody. That was just very important to my folks. And as it turns out, that was a legacy that he left me that money can't buy, is how to be able to treat people.
Paula Deen
Of course, I will continue to share my favorite Southern recipes, just like my mama, grandmother and family shared with me over the years. And now, I'll be adding a little bit of a lighter touch to some of these wonderful dishes.
Paula Deen
Don't ever give up. You can't let discouragement get you down. You can always find negative people that will try to discourage you from your goals. You can't be discouraged, and you can't let the word no stop you.
Paula Deen
When it's said and done, the one thing I want to leave on this earth is hope. I have felt hopelessness, and it's a terrible feeling. Hopelessness will destroy you. I want to bring hope to other people.
Paula Deen
I am proud to be a Southerner. I think Southern hospitality is very... I don't think it's just a term. I think it really exists. You can come to Savannah, and the people are so sweet and so nice.
Paula Deen
I'll keep peace at all cost, even if I choke to death on my tongue.
Paula Deen
Talking about money is garish. It's tacky.
Paula Deen
There's nothing better than being able to give your children wings so they can soar and fly in the direction they want to go in.
Paula Deen
Cooking has always brought me a happiness that I didn't think was available. I just fire up the stove, and things start to fade away.
Paula Deen
I will never use a substitute for butter. Margarine is one molecule away from eating plastic.
Paula Deen
Bein' rich is having leftovers. Good leftovers make yo' tongue fly outta yo' mouth and smack yo' brains out.
Paula Deen
I wake up every morning happy for where I am in life. It's not all about the cooking, but the fact that I can contribute by using my influence to help people all over the country. In the last two years, my partners and I have fed more than 10 million hungry people by bringing meat to food banks.
Paula Deen
I've got two vices: cigarettes and taters.
Paula Deen
Well what I would really like is a bunch of little n***ers to wear long-sleeve white shirts, black shorts and black bow ties. You know, in the Shirley Temple days, they used to tap dance around. Now, that would be a true Southern wedding wouldn't it? But we can't do that because the media would be on me about that.
Paula Deen
It's amazing how good getting up and moving makes you feel.
Paula Deen
Chicken breast is the driest, [most] tasteless part of the chicken as far as I'm concerned.
Paula Deen
I'm making little changes in my life to take care of myself, like putting in a mile or two on my treadmill every day.
Paula Deen
I am proud to be a Southerner.
Paula Deen
I love Hershey's chocolate. I feel the same about chocolate as I do about wine. Connoisseurs like dark chocolate and they like nasty wine that doesn't taste good to me. I don't get it!
