Here, we’ve compiled a list of the best McDonald Quotes from famous authors such as Beyonce Knowles, Frankie Boyle, Tony Rock, Alethea Kontis, Walter Kirn. Let’s look at these pieces of wisdom. We definitely have something to learn from them!
1
The great thing about McDonald’s is that they have a lot of different things on the menu. I love their salads.
2
I can make a joke pointing out that David Cameron told off Sri Lanka for human rights abuses committed with weapons Britain sold it – like Ronald McDonald calling you a fat bastard.
3
It’s too expensive to eat healthy. You ever go to Whole Foods? A carrot is, like, seven dollars. McDonald’s got double cheeseburgers for a dollar.
4
I was a math whiz who stunk at English, so of course I wanted to be a writer more than anything in the world. I performed impromptu plays for my grandmother’s sewing circle but forced my little sister to ask for ketchup at McDonald’s.
5
Yes, in the commercial world there’s room for both McDonald’s and Whole Foods, but in the realm of politics, we’re told, it’s either Filet-o-Fish or line-caught salmon: only one can prevail – and which is up to you.
6
It’s not like I’m out eating McDonald’s and Del Taco every night. I eat good: my mom fixes dinner every single night – baked chicken, fish – she cooks a great meal every single night.
7
I learned from McDonald’s that we can do great things from a marketing and advertising perspective, but if the experience at the restaurant isn’t superior, it might not matter.
8
Because we only feed in the United States less than 1 per cent of the meals, most of them are eaten elsewhere. Most meals are eaten at home. So to make McDonald’s the target is not going to solve the problem.
9
I call tennis the McDonald’s of sport – you go in, they make a quick buck out of you, and you’re out.
10
There’s two tiers of science fiction: the McDonalds sci-fi like Star Trek, where they have an adventure and solve it before the last commercial, and there are books that once you’ve read, you never look at the world the same way again.
11
I especially don’t want men coming up to me and asking if sexism still exists. It’s like, I’m seriously gonna barf a McDonald’s salad on the next person to do that.
12
My philosophy in all my jobs at McDonald’s is to be honest and say what I think and mean what I say.
13
I’ve been influenced by so many different writers along the way – from Charles Dickens, Roger Zelazny, Michael Moorcock, John D. McDonald, and so many others – that it would take a page or two to list them all.
14
Grand Slam losses are hard. I treat myself after losses though, I usually go to McDonald’s and I have a hamburger and you know, something. Because you know, you just need to be nice to yourself sometimes after the loss.
15
When I was living out of my car, I did not know where we were going to eat, use the bathroom, rest or enjoy a quiet moment. I used McDonald’s bathrooms to mix baby formula and wash my body because I had no other options.
16
Certain kinds of people will always have an issue with my music. But that’s fine; it’s OK. I don’t want to be the McDonald’s of music. I don’t want to not turn anyone off. If you were everybody’s cup of tea, you’d probably be boring.
17
I haven’t eaten at a McDonald’s since I became President.
18
Even if I earn millions, I will probably do the average things, like live in a dorm and work at McDonald’s.
19
Playtime and toys are good for kids, or they wouldn’t buy them. McDonald’s can provide that experience. And having dinner with the family is good for kids.
20
I worked the drive-through at McDonald’s and tried out different accents – Italian, Russian, Irish.
21
I grew up in a refinery town in Texas, and we weren’t fancy enough to have a McDonald’s.
22
I had a really tragic cut at the beginning of Season 2 of ‘Ally McBeal.’ Someone convinced me that it would be good to layer my hair. I basically looked like Ronald McDonald.
23
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.
24
A McDonald’s cheeseburger with no mustard is my guilty pleasure.
25
When I was growing up, I was eating fast food every day. I’d drink soda non-stop, candy, just everything. It was horrible. My go-to was McDonald’s, for sure.
26
I worked at a McDonald’s inside a Walmart. It wasn’t even a real McDonald’s.
27
I enjoyed working at McDonald’s.
28
I would love to see McDonald’s pay more money.
29
I don’t think the Whataburger would dunk on the In-N-Out Burger, but I never really liked Whataburger or all the other burgers. McDonald’s is decent, I guess, but no, the In-N-Out Burger kills them all.
30
I have the most guilty, abusive relationship with McDonald’s. Left to my own devices, I’d probably eat four Big Macs a week.
31
McDonald’s is over with. But chips and candy and stuff, it’s going to be hard to get away from that.
32
If I have to work in McDonalds, fine – I had a really great run and made a living at music for 20 years, and how many other people can say that?
33
If we could buy these properties and then invest in the Black community, with our own McDonald’s, with our own Kentucky Fried Chickens, it was gonna be a great move.
34
I don’t know about everyone else, but I felt like the day I turned 40, I could no longer read the dinner menu without glasses, my knees started to betray me, and I can gain 10 pounds just by driving past a McDonalds!
35
I am basically a walking McDonald’s chicken nugget.
36
The Beijing Olympics were an exercise in Chinese soft power. Americans have the ‘Voice of America’ and the Fulbright scholarships. But, the fact is, in fact, that probably Hollywood and MTV and McDonalds have done more for American soft power around the world than any specifically government activity.
37
It is true that there comes a time when I do literally dream about McDonald’s. I dream of supermarkets and drug stores, potato chips and the Sunday morning paper.
38
Many of the criticisms about McDonald’s are false. We are keen to provide people with as much nutritional information as possible to help them manage their diets.
39
We had just recently moved to California from Italy, and while we were driving around, we saw a billboard ad for McDonald’s on Olympic Boulevard in Los Angeles. The word ‘guess’ was in the ad, and my brother decided that that would be the name of our company!
40
I need it to survive. But most specifically, McDonalds Big Mac’s and McDoubles (with no pickles).
41
I haven’t always hated McDonald’s. When my kids were little and I lived in the U.S., they were as susceptible as anyone to Happy Meals and tatty toys that subsequently littered our sitting room.
42
O.K., my family isn’t, like, stupid-wealthy. But I’m coming from a place where if football doesn’t work out, I don’t have to work at McDonald’s.
43
We have lots of fruit trees and vegetables – we live endlessly on courgettes. I certainly wouldn’t approve of a diet of McDonald’s for my children.
44
You always feel like you’ve got something to prove, whether it be to yourself or somebody else. I can think of plenty of people along the way telling me I’ll be nothing, working at McDonald’s, doing things like that. The whole time, you’re just trying to prove them wrong.
45
McDonald’s cannot flourish without McDonnell Douglas, the designer of the F-15.
46
As murderous industrial magnates go, Alfred Nobel is right up there with Ray Kroc, franchiser of McDonald’s.
47
I’d been travelling in Romania. It was 1990, just after the revolution and you couldn’t buy anything so we’d been eating basic food. We went to McDonald’s and, I’m ashamed to say, it was wonderful. I hate McDonald’s normally.
48
I was in awe of my father. His generosity was beyond anything I ever could imagine. The reason I say he’s like Don Corleone is he was always breaking off hundreds. I’d be like, ‘Hey Dad, I’m going to McDonald’s with my friends,’ and he’d just whip out a hundred: ‘Here, go, have fun.’
49
I like to talk about lint and coasters, the expansion of the universe and maybe McDonald’s. I’m completely turned off by the idea of politics.
50
There is a deliberate effort to undermine food culture to sell us processed food. The family meal is a challenge if you’re General Mills or Kellogg or one of these companies, or McDonald’s, because the family meal is usually one thing shared.
51
I remember looking to McDonald’s, and, my God, they have 13,000 restaurants in the United States. Well, we have almost a couple thousand Chipotles. What if Pizzeria Locale is a few thousand, and Shod. All of a sudden, we’re bigger than McDonald’s in the U.S. I mean, that’s not an unreasonable way to think about this.
52
You know where the best McDonald’s is? Dubai. Because they have regulation on the meat, so it’s really, really good.
53
Anything I do in life, I always want to work hard, play hard and so I’m still drinking my wine, I’m still eating my McDonald’s on Sundays, but I am working hard through the week.
54
August Wilson is the one writer that writes about men like my father, who had a fifth grade education, who was a janitor at McDonald’s.
55
Hey, I used to eat at McDonald’s: I liked the taste of the food, especially the French fries.
56
Well, I wasn’t just kind of standing in a queue at McDonald’s and someone sat down and said, ‘You’re the director of a $100 million Hollywood movie.’ I’ve been working in commercials for ten years.
57
Like catching a glimpse of the McDonald’s golden arches after a night out, when I see the blue and white Boots sign in the distance I feel comforted.
58
McDonald’s, Barbie – they’re all icons, recognizable from London to Timbuktu.
59
I’ve never personally differentiated a person who dressed up in a three-piece suit and goes to Wall Street from a person who dresses up in a polyester uniform and works at McDonalds. I think it’s all drag.
60
My goals all along were to win state and play in the McDonald’s All-American game. I’m happy I was able to accomplish those things.
61
I go to McDonald’s every day. But I don’t eat much.
62
I want to be free to be any version of me I feel like being. I don’t want to be McDonald’s that serves the same food every time.
63
If it’s flipping hamburgers at McDonald’s, be the best hamburger flipper in the world. Whatever it is you do you have to master your craft.
64
My biggest inspiration is Audra McDonald.
65
I started taking part in college competitions… my first-ever performance with a band was in McDonald’s, and I got Rs 500. I still have the note.
66
‘Star Trek’ is the McDonald’s of science fiction; it’s fast food storytelling. Every problem is like every other problem. They all get solved in an hour. Nobody ever gets hurt, and nobody needs to care. You give up an hour of your time, and you don’t really have to get involved. It’s all plastic.
67
I’ve met people at the top of companies like Accenture who started off in McDonald’s.
68
I believe that if we are going to create jobs in this country, then let’s create jobs that will absolutely put the working-class people at work to the point where they have one job. They don’t have to work three because they have to work Wendy’s, McDonald’s, and Walmart to survive.
69
It starts in the home environment. If the parents eat bad? Those kids are going to eat bad. If they see their parents stopping at McDonald’s or Pizza Hut, then that’s what they’re going to eat as well.
70
I’ll be the first one to tell you that I’m fat out of season. I love McDonald’s, and I love Taco Bell. But, whenever it comes fight time, I’m always ready.
71
I can’t say ‘I’m proud to say’ – because it’s not a choice for many Americans – but I can say I’m fortunate enough to not be raising my kids on McDonald’s.
72
Punditry is like weather forecasting: the winds can shift without warning. I remember when nobody would bet a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder that Bill Clinton would win the White House.
73
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.
74
When it came to healthy eating, my parents did their best to set me on the right path. At school, my friends ate McDonalds at lunchtime, but I had a packed lunch that my mother made for me. I hated it at the time, but looking back, I’m glad.
75
To me, nothing beats McDonalds and a scary movie at home.
76
Even if you flippin’ fries at McDonald’s, if you are excellent, everybody wants to be in your line.
77
Now, McDonald’s is a very good indicator of the global economy. If McDonald’s doesn’t increase its sales, it tells you that the monetary policies have largely failed in the sense that prices are going up more than disposable income, and so people have less purchasing power.
78
For example, the first time McDonald’s put a deaf person in a commercial they saw a jump in sales. I think that happens with other kinds of disabilities and products and that is something that is being realized more and more.
79
McDonalds used to be my favorite place to eat, until my metabolism changed in my late 30s. Before that, I would have no hesitation about walking into McDonalds and getting two cheeseburgers and fries and enjoying every last bite.
80
You have the right to kill me, but you don’t have the right to judge me. That’s life. There’s nobility in that. There’s focus. It’s genuine. It’s crystal and it’s pure and it’s available to everybody, so just shut your traps and put down your McDonalds, your vaccines, your Us Weekly, your TMZ and the rest of it.
81
You look at Michael McDonald and people like that; I think they just tried to write music that was true to themselves. That’s our bottom line. Whatever people view us as, I think as long as we try to create good music that will win out in the end.
82
McDonald’s revolutionized fast food. They introduced a way to eat food without knives, forks or plates. Most fast foods can be eaten while steering the wheel of a car and the restaurants are usually drive through.
83
My food hero has to be Auguste Escoffier. And the villain? The man who’s been most responsible for the death of food in my time is Ronald McDonald. He’s always scared me, I think he’s evil – he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Him and the Hamburglar.
84
If I’m honest, the thing I remember the most was the team mascot, Freddie the Falcon. I really remember there was a McDonald’s nearby, and I remember eating a cheeseburger in the playground when the Falcon appeared. I’m not sure my dad appreciates that being my favorite memory of him playing.
85
The fans who know us, and me in particular, know the type of people we are. I like the finer things. We’ve gone through our McDonald’s and Burger King phase.
86
China and Hong Kong represent an enormous growth opportunity for McDonald’s.
87
You know what the best thing about morning ski trips are? McDonald’s!
88
Ya know, I always admired Ray Kroc, the man who invented McDonald’s. Ray had a vision of the most commonplace thing – a hamburger and fries to go – but to him it was just the greatest thing ever, and he was going to make it the greatest thing ever for everybody else, and he did.
89
I’ve never been a Burger King person. I’m a total McDonald’s person.
90
It distresses me when I take my seven-year-old nephew out. I cook healthy food, and he wants to go to McDonald’s. He doesn’t even like the food; he just wants the toys, the Happy Meals. I can’t stand to see people walking down the street eating fast food.
91
Sometimes I wonder why I’m not working at McDonald’s and how come I have the life I have. I don’t know. But I’m happy that I have these choices. That’s kinda sappy, huh? But whatever, acting beats pumping gas.
92
Really, the only way to face the biggest problems we have is for the government to change the way they subsidize food. The way we subsidize food makes it cheaper to go to McDonald’s and get a hamburger than a salad, and that’s insane.
93
Even when I speak English to my parents, I’ll say an English word differently to my Chinese parents and friends than I do to my English-speaking friends – you know, I’ll pronounce ‘McDonald’s’ differently, because it feels right, and that’s what I’m used to.
94
The reason my kids like McDonald’s is that they always know what they’re going to get. It’s not gourmet food, but the french fries they order in Indianapolis are just like the french fries they order in Tampa. Wherever they get McDonald’s fries, they know it will be the same. That’s what McDonald’s does.
95
The McDonald’s icon of the colours and the golden arch, for me, resonates as one of the most iconic images ever.
96
When I was in high school, I wanted to be so thick that I’d eat all the pizza and all the McDonald’s and everything.
97
I grew up watching people and companies commercialize Black History Month. I watched old McDonald’s commercials, and they’d blacken up the commercials for 28 days then go back to normal in March. It got annoying to me.
98
The average customer comes into McDonald’s three to four times a month, and I’m absolutely convinced that can fit in very comfortably into a balanced diet.
99
I was going to McDonald’s and Taco Bell every day. The kids behind the counter knew me – it wouldn’t even faze them. Or I’d sit up at Denny’s or Big Boy and just eat by myself. It was sad. I got so heavy that people started to not recognize me.
100
I was such a scared cling-on-to-my-mum’s-leg kind of girl, even when I was 15, 16. If I was in McDonald’s and I needed ketchup, I wouldn’t go up and ask. I’d be too shy.
101
I’d done my time in corporate America, from McDonald’s making shakes to Morgan Stanley making deals and, yet, I felt awfully constrained by the uniform – not just my clothes, but how I felt I needed to conform – that a traditional job required me to wear.
102
Sometimes when you’re in different countries, everything has become so homogenised and there’s a Starbucks and McDonald’s everywhere, and you could feel like you’re in Florida. But in Japan, you know you’re there.
103
Sushi is something very exclusive. It is not like a McDonald’s, not like a hot dog, not like a French fry. It’s very high-class cooking in Japan.
104
The biggest threat to McDonald’s lies within – and that is us as a company becoming complacent. There are a lot of companies that get fat, dumb and happy and take their eye off the ball and forget about serving customers.
105
My acting career began at age three and my parents got me into it. I was in a McDonald’s commercial.
106
Young people, especially, are turning away from McDonald’s towards healthy, locally-sourced options like Next Door and Sweetgreen.
107
Let me clear something up: I don’t like KFC. Or McDonald’s.
108
I had a small-town life – I worked at the local McDonald’s for three years. I’m not sure why they kept me: I am something of a daydreamer and a dawdler, so they would only let me be the ‘friendly voice’ that greeted you when you entered the restaurant.
109
Doing press is like eating at McDonald’s: while it’s going on it’s vaguely enjoyable – you’re seduced by your own vanity and taking yourself rather seriously – but immediately afterwards you feel sick.
110
I wasn’t going to McDonald’s every week, but a nice pizza after three points isn’t a bad way to have it.
111
We’re all moving at such a high rate that we have to grab the frozen dinners and the McDonald’s. We can’t make it a way of life – we have to get back to real, simple, clean good foods. It will save our lives on so many levels; not just spina bifida, but obesity, diabetes, everything. Food is our medicine.
112
I have a picture on my phone of me and Audra McDonald from when I went stage door-ing at ‘Ragtime’ in high school. I always keep it there because I try to remember how important that was to me.
113
You know how you can be romantic? You can be romantic by going to a beautiful setting, sitting on a park bench, and getting good ole-fashioned golden arches, a.k.a. McDonald’s. That’s probably the best I can do romantically.
114
Ross McDonald had a greater influence on me than any other writer. His style of writing, the repeated theme of the past coming out to grab somebody, that’s very attractive to me as a reader and, now, as a writer.
115
Many people have strong views on McDonald’s.
116
I had braids before. They were real long, and they were black, but my mom made me cut them for the McDonald’s job. Then, when I got the job, everybody had long braids and colored hair.
117
I don’t go to McDonald’s anymore. After I saw Super Size Me… no way!
118
Scandal is like McDonald’s. It’s cheap and it’s easily accessible to the masses, and when you’re going to McDonald’s, you know that you can get a salad, but do you want a salad? No. You want a Big Mac and French fries with an apple pie and a sundae.
119
When I get older, if they ever do a project about Audra McDonald’s life, I would love to play her, or even play her daughter in something. I love her.
120
If somebody else wanted to do a song for McDonald’s, that’s up to them. I wouldn’t do something like that, but whatever.
121
I’m pretty sure that I’ve never confessed in an interview my weakness for McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish. The cheese is fake. Who knows what that ‘fish’ really is. It is gross. It is amazing.
122
McDonald’s has been extraordinary at site selection; it was a pioneer in studying the best places for retail locations. One of the things it did is study very carefully where sprawl was headed.
123
People keep saying I’m westernizing Chinese food. No I’m not. McDonald’s, KFC, Starbucks, have done it big time, way before me.
124
I worked in McDonald’s, but I didn’t mind it. You got free cheeseburgers. I love eating a bit of junk food.
125
If you do a full-on workout and then eat McDonald’s or Wendy’s, you’re defeating the purpose. If you put good things into your body while working out, you’ll see results.
126
I used to think that eating healthy was ordering a fish sandwich at McDonalds.
127
When you have the demand, you can change the government policies that create McDonald’s and junk food.
128
There is a common British delusion that we ‘understand’ America. We don’t. Watching ‘Friends’ listening to Bruce Springsteen, eating at McDonald’s and visiting Disneyland does not do it.
129
When you expand a business as fast as McDonald’s did, part of the strength you have is the process and the efficiency.
130
Ronald has had bicycle safety and safety in the home. Yes, Ronald is McDonald’s, second most recognised figure after Santa Claus, and there’s an element of obviously benefiting your business.
131
Many of us grew up with colourful characters such as Tony the Tiger, Coco the Monkey and Ronald McDonald. These figures were designed to market products – from sugary breakfast cereals to hamburgers – to children.
132
McDonald’s is good for me.
133
You get paid more at McDonald’s than you do under the existing minimum wage.
134
I’ve traveled to the most glamorous places in the world, the biggest capitals of culture, and I’ve traveled to the biggest fuddy-duddy, slum life nowheresvilles… so I’ve seen a ton of stuff. I’ve been physically attacked at a McDonald’s in Perth, Australia, in full drag.
135
Nirvana, to a value investor, is paying a cheap price for a company that is growing in value every year at a nice rate – this largely explains why today we own stocks like Berkshire Hathaway, McDonald’s, Wal-Mart, Microsoft, Costco and Anheuser-Busch.
136
One time, my ex-boyfriend and I were in Paris, and we went to this really fancy dinner. We weren’t full after, so we walked from the schmoozy restaurant to McDonald’s, and we finished our date at McDonald’s. It was awesome.
137
Think about the systems at McDonald’s. It’s a very mechanized world, where you take out a highly processed patty.
138
Yes, the Masters is too stylish to be an American icon. It’s as out of character for Uncle Sam as a McDonald’s is for France.
139
They know they got the TV ad, they know they got the name recognition, they know that they can do a tie in with McDonald’s or some fast food outlet and the money is just gonna flow in.
140
I have done a Hamburger Helper commercial, a Hardees commercial, a McDonalds commercial. American Express commercial.
141
I trust that McDonald’s can find a way to sell all-natural chicken without raising their prices; we did that at Shake Shack. It is more expensive, and we took a slight margin hit, but we did it. And if we can do it, I know that much bigger companies can.
142
McDonald’s doesn’t suck. It’s just not Wendy’s. Wendy, she’s much prettier than Ronald McDonald.
143
For decades, I’ve spoken of McDonald’s as one of the premier examples of how to build a company, scale it, and ultimately sell it.
144
It’s weird, but Scion is kind of cool. I couldn’t drive one because I’d look like one of those McDonald’s Happy Meal toys with giant heads sticking out the window.
145
I’ve been to McDonald’s in Spain, Greece, Turkey, Ireland, Norway, Denmark, Holland, Scotland, Hong Kong, Japan, Canada and Singapore. Despite that, I’m still without a fast food endorsement, which hurts a bit because you’re not really somebody unless someone is paying for your McDonald’s.
146
Ordering should be the most enjoyable experience, but at McDonald’s, it can be one of the most stressful points in time.
147
My first job was a McDonald’s commercial. It made me want to wake up at 4 A.M. to do something I loved. I haven’t been the same since.
148
There is no earthly reason why Walmart and McDonald’s and Walgreens and these other giant, profitable institutions should have one worker in need of public assistance. It’s ridiculous.
149
Barbecue is an incredibly democratic food. It’s cheaper than McDonald’s in many places and far more delicious. On the other hand, the only reason it can be that cheap is they use commodity hogs, the worst of the worst, which is – you know, it’s an industry kind of ruining North Carolina.
150
Ray Kroc called his first McDonald’s restaurant, which he opened in Illinois, ‘a little money machine.’ That’s why thousands of franchisees bought it.
151
The way we subsidize food makes it cheaper to go to McDonald’s and get a hamburger than a salad, and that’s insane. It’s pure government policy.
152
I’d rather eat a cow-pat on a bun than a bloody McDonalds.
153
I’ve got a scar on my shin from when I got shot in New York when I was 17. I was outside a McDonald’s and somebody shot a gun from a car, and the bullet grazed my leg.
154
McDonald’s is in a unique position. They can decide they don’t want meat with hormones in it, and that will be the end of hormones in meat. I actually think exerting pressure on McDonald’s is probably just as important as on the Department of Agriculture.
155
Several years ago, I was asked by a songwriter’s association to go to Nashville – I think it involved some kind of award – and be part of the showcase. It was myself and Stevie Winwood and Michael McDonald and then some country people that I didn’t know. The whole community was just so welcoming to me.
156
I go to McDonald’s at least once a week. I always get a No. 2.
157
I was the all-American face. You name it, honey – American Dairy Milk, Metropolitan Life insurance, McDonald’s, Burger King. The Face That Didn’t Matter – that’s what I called my face.
158
There’s a McDonald’s in the Louvre.
159
Education seems to be placing increased emphasis on assessment and tracking, which means parents are terrified that if their kid doesn’t exceed their expected learning level at six years old, they are immediately put in the class that ends up working at McDonald’s.
160
Unfortunately, diet is 75 or 80 percent of trying to get in shape, so you do have to try to cut the carbs. The diet’s a huge part! I’m from Kansas, so I love ranch dressing and McDonald’s. When I’m working, I have to stay away from all that!
161
I was scouted working at the register at McDonald’s in Melbourne, Australia. I worked there as my first job, and a guy walked in and gave me his card. I was 16. I was skeptical, but I looked it up when I got home, and it was legitimate.
162
My first job was, like, McDonald’s.
163
People want to know how we do it as moms. I want to inspire moms to get back in the kitchen. I want to show moms that not only is it great to have your kids eat healthy foods as opposed to McDonald’s, but it’s great to bring the family back together.
164
McDonald’s says it’s phasing out pig gestation crates. When I heard that news, I almost started crying.
165
I like McDonald’s burgers and Happy Meals. And I’ve got a thing for kebabs, too. But I don’t eat too much of that stuff or it makes me feel a bit ill.
166
If you can’t find the next McDonald’s, I’ll find the next McDonald’s. But it’s vital to be with people who with looking for ’em, because they do exist. They are created.
167
When I was playing in Seattle and Orlando, I did a lot of work with the Ronald McDonald House. I’ve always had a special thing for kids, and I know how important it is for kids to have good role models. They push us to that next level.
168
