Your name is a funny thing. It stands for what you're about, and everything I do is really about pride.

I like having a private name and a public name. It helps keep things straight.

I never wanted to give up my given name. I'm proud of it, but the only problem was that no one remembered it. It was just a little too awkward, and they mispronounced it so frequently.

I really didn't want to have my name on the center, because it just seemed like it was too much of a personal thing.

My name is more important than myself.

I am very aware of my family name. I'm very aware of the legacy that that kind of carries with it. And I think that I didn't want to lose any kind of hold of that. And I think once you're born into something that you're proud of and that you're aware of, you don't take it lightly.

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

My name? Of course it helps. If you've got it, use it. I'm proud of it, for sure.

My mother's very proud of the name she gave me. She thought it sounded rhythmically better. It doesn't really make a difference to me what people call me, but since my mother calls me Holly Marie when she's angry, I prefer just my first name.
