What I say is that, if a fellow really likes potatoes, he must be a pretty decent sort of fellow.

I look back and wonder why I wasted my time talking about fried potatoes with the great John Lennon. But that's what was so fabulous about him - he was very down to earth.

The greatest man is he who forms the taste of a nation; the next greatest is he who corrupts it.

My grandchildren just know me now as Mr. Potato Head.

I don't think I can boast about him. 'Hey, my dad is a British institution; he's done all these incredible things and I'm really proud of him.' There is a certain baggage that comes with that in England.

If the British Isles had an official vegetable, it would have to be the potato.

Only the man who disciplines himself strictly can stand for long the terrific pace of modern war.

A good historian is timeless; although he is a patriot, he will never flatter his country in any respect.

I had a nickname in junior high, and I'm loathe to say this: 'potato lady.'

A great man is different from an eminent one in that he is ready to be the servant of the society.
