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'm so thankful. God has been so good and generous.
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.

Would I have fired me? Knowing me? No.

I am proud to be a Southerner.
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.

I am guilty of buying way too many gadgets - way too many! And though I try to keep things nice and orderly, sometimes I get distracted and stick saucepans where the stockpots should go.
Paula Deen
I was determined to share my positive approach and not let diabetes stand in the way of enjoying my life.
Paula Deen
I pay people very, very well - probably more than I have to. But that costs me less money in the long run because I'm not having to constantly train somebody. I pay them enough that they don't go seeking a higher scale at the next restaurant.
Paula Deen
I am proof that the American dream still exists.
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
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
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
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!
Paula Deen
Talking about money is garish. It's tacky.
Paula Deen
I feel like 'embattled' or 'disgraced' will always follow my name. It's like that black football player who recently came out.
