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?'

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.

Lee Mack

Donald learned that you can never admit you're wrong. That was considered a weakness... it's a kind of toxic positivity, there was no admitting pain, there was no admitting weakness.

Mary L. Trump

Here's an idea: eat like an adult. Stop eating fast food, stop eating kid's cereal, knock it off with all the sweets and comfort foods, and ease up on the snacking. And don't act like you don't know this: eat more vegetables and fruits. Really, how difficult is this? Stop with the whining. Stop with the excuses. Act like an adult and stop eating like a television commercial. Grow up.

Aggies have a really interesting way of admitting defeat. We've never been outscored. We just ran out of time.

Rick Perry

Part of your process of becoming an adult is admitting to yourself that The Doors were a shitty band.

Moshe Kasher

We can't get kicked out of McDonald's! This is like the DMZ of drunk eating.

Tucker Max

Every McDonald's commercial ends the same way: Prices and participation may vary. I wanna open a McDonald's and not participate in anything. I wanna be a stubborn McDonald's owner. "Cheeseburgers?" "Nope! We got spaghetti, and blankets."

Mitch Hedberg

I wonder if I love the communal act of eating so much because throughout my childhood, with four older brothers and a mom who worked in the restaurant business, I spent a lot of time fending for myself, eating alone - and recognizing how eating together made all the difference.

Thomas Keller

I worked in McDonald's, but I didn't mind it. You got free cheeseburgers. I love eating a bit of junk food.

Keeley Hawes

People should just be aware of how they are eating... yesterday I had a McDonald's breakfast and pizza too - but that's bad.

Peaches Geldof

I love to be envied, and would not marry a wife that I alone could love; loving alone is as dull as eating alone.

William Wycherley

Eating by myself in my own apartment, single and alone again for the first time in many years, I should have felt, but did not feel, sad. Because I had taken the trouble to make myself a real dinner, I felt nurtured and cared for, if only by myself. Eating alone was freeing, too; I didn't have to make conversation.

Kate Christensen

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.
