A Quote by Paul O'Grady

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.

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

Paul O'Grady

Most of us came out of Popeye, so turning Popeye into something believable was tricky enough.

Gil Kane

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

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 used to say in the cabinet room, 'confidence is not like a can of Popeye spinach - you can't take the top off and swallow it down.' You know, confidence has to be earned.

Paul Keating

When I was a child we were sufficiently well off for me to be a picky eater and I still cannot eat vegetables cooked in the traditional British manner.

Vince Cable

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

Kale is my best friend. I eat kale salad. I put kale in my smoothies, kale in my soup. Kale, kale, kale! I feel like Popeye. I love it. I definitely need variety or I get super bored, so I have to mix it up with different sauces and tahini or whatever.

Alanis Morissette

A lot of American companies are now moving into Iraq. Iraq now has Pizza Hut, Subway, Taco Bell and Popeye's fried chicken. So, great, instead of oil for food, we're giving them oil in food.

Jay Leno

I'm a picky eater, so, often, if I can't find something to eat at catering, I order pizza.

Lili Reinhart

We try not to waste food in general. Because as a meat eater it's just responsible to eat as much of the animal as you can. It's also instilled in my family culture, where it's not even an ethical thing, it's just that all those parts are delicious, too. You eat the ears, you eat the intestines, you eat the livers, the hearts.

Thu Tran

I've always been a picky eater but I'm not the healthiest eater.

Rakim

I'm a really picky eater.

Emma Roberts

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

Charles Forsman

I love to bake. I like to bake with wheat and try not to eat sugar so I use applesauce instead, which probably sounds really gross. When I was doing the promos we included tomatoes, mangoes, rice - all the different ways you can eat them - and we were able to incorporate some of the recipes I've learned, like a spinach mango salad. It was really fun to get creative with food because sometimes people forget that.
