I was a really picky eater as a child. Because I was obsessed by Popeye, my mum and aunts would put my food in a can to represent spinach and we'd hum the Popeye tune and then I'd happily eat it.

Paul O'Grady

I was Popeye mad when I was a kid, and I'd eat spinach until the cows came home.

Seems there's a big debate going on about whether a new TV commercial for Minute Maid orange juice portrays Popeye and Bluto as gay lovers or just good friends. The commercial shows Popeye and Bluto at the beach and riding a bicycle for two. I don't think that makes them gay. I think the fact they both find Olive Oyl attractive, that makes them gay.

Jay Leno

There was a manga boom, so I read 'Astro Boy,' 'Osomatsu-kun,' and such. But what influenced me the most were things like 'Popeye' and Disney animation.

Akira Toriyama

Popeye was right about spinach: dark green, leafy vegetables are the healthiest food on the planet. As whole foods go, they offer the most nutrition per calorie.

Michael Greger

E.C. Segar, who created 'Thimble Theatre' and 'Popeye,' is one of my favorite cartoonists.

Charles Forsman

I liked the old comic books, especially the funny ones like 'Popeye' and 'Beetle Bailey.'

The only thing that can ever make a Louisiana boy feel better is Popeye's.

Daniel Cormier

I grew up in Louisiana. We have red beans and rice, and there's a Popeye's on every corner.

Daniel Cormier

It's become normal for me to walk on set as Popeye, Frankenstein or an Elf or even a chicken.

Paul O'Grady

I'm just riding this train as long as I can. As long as I'm having fun, I'll do it. When it stops being fun, I'll try something else. Maybe I'll open up a chain of Popeye's Chicken.

Gabrielle Union

I've never even been into those supplements or any of that. I don't even drink energy shakes. I'm not into that kind of stuff. You just get me an In-N-Out burger and some Popeye's fried chicken and I'm straight.

Paul Pierce

A lot of early Misfits song titles are inspired by old B-movies, which were my Popeye's spinach when I was a kid.

Colson Whitehead

I realised there were no good role models for kids. Popeye eats spinach, but also smokes and hits people.

Magnus Scheving

I always think of "Popeye" and "Barney Google" as quintessential comic strips in that old rollicky, slapstick way we've sort of lost.

Bill Watterson

I never had any desire to get a tattoo. If I was ever going to get one, I would get a plain anchor with a rope around it, the most unimaginative possible tattoo, like Popeye had.

John Waters
