Bein' rich is having leftovers. Good leftovers make yo' tongue fly outta yo' mouth and smack yo' brains out.
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.

I think no matter what the occasion may be, you can never go wrong by showing up at the dinner table with a hot plate of fried chicken.

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.

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.

Would I have fired me? Knowing me? No.
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
We are our brothers keeper. Its going to be up to all of us.
Paula Deen
I know I can cook, but the place where I cook... it's a mess! I'm very disorganized.
Paula Deen
I'll keep peace at all cost, even if I choke to death on my tongue.
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
I feel like 'embattled' or 'disgraced' will always follow my name. It's like that black football player who recently came out.
Paula Deen
I've got two vices: cigarettes and taters.

Southerners have never been afraid of seasoning. It's kind of the other way around our seasoning is afraid of us.
