I've known what it is to be hungry, but I always went right to a restaurant.

At restaurants, I try to tell them not to bring the bread basket, but what's the point of going out to eat if I can't enjoy it?

I'm a huge fan of burgers, and they're not my wife's favorite, so we don't cook them at home.

I hate it when people throw away food - I've seen too many hungry people.

I remember how, when I lived in Paris, there was a McDonald's, and I'd always see Americans eating there and think, 'Why do they come all the way to Paris and eat at McDonald's?'

Too often, we have tended to fall into a trap of creating plain hamburgers.

Back in the really olden days, dinner was seldom a ceremonial event for U.S. families. Only the very wealthy had a separate dining room. For most, meals were informal, a kind of rolling refueling; often only the men sat down.

One in six people in the U.S. at some point each year don't know where their next meal will come from.

I used to have hamburgers coming and going, especially when I was on the road. Now, occasionally I will still have that quarter pounder because I love fast food, but you have to keep it to a minimum. I am now opting for salads and just healthier lunches.

We all need to make time for a burger once in a while.
