When its said and done, the one thing I want to leave on this earth is hope. I have felt hopelessness, and its a terrible feeling. Hopelessness will destroy you. I want to bring hope to other people. – Paula Deen
I dont care what the haters and naysayers say. If they make jokes about me, Ill laugh because theyll probably be funny. – Paula Deen
I have my new food line in the works – I think its over 200 items. Hopefully I can make a difference its delicious food thats just so easy. I think itll help people enjoy their lives… its good! – Paula Deen
I wake up every morning happy for where I am in life. Its not all about the cooking, but the fact that I can contribute by using my influence to help people all over the country. In the last two years, my partners and I have fed more than 10 million hungry people by bringing meat to food banks. – Paula Deen
