Good enough never is

Number one, I absolutely love making chocolate chip cookies. I mean, it's fun. It's exciting. Beyond the fact that I love making them, I love eating them.

The important thing is not being afraid to take a chance. Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you find something you love to do, be the best at doing it.

When you're taking care of the customer, you can never do too much. And there is no wrong way... if it comes from the heart.

I've never felt like I was in the cookie business. I've always been in a feel good feeling business. My job is to sell joy. My job is to sell happiness. My job is to sell an experience.

Good enough never is. Set your standards so high that even the flaws are considered excellent.

A cookie store is a bad idea. Besides, the market research reports say America likes crispy cookies, not soft and chewy cookies like you make.

It's never too late - not now, not ever - for you to pursue your passion.

What I wanted was to be allowed to do the thing in the world that I did best - which I believed then and believe now is the greatest privilege there is. When I did that, success found me.

The greatest failure is not to try. Had I listened to all the people during the course of my life who said, "You can't. You'll fail. It won't work. You don't have...," I wouldn't be here today.

There are people out there who want to say yes. That gave me confidence to keep asking.

Be thine own palace or the world's thy jail.

Negative attitudes bring negative results.

I can't drink a wine if it has an ugly label.

Everything that could produce a clash between the Arab world and the West seemed dangerous to me.

Thank God kids never mean well

I know an awful lot of Hollywood people, who are so self-important, I can't understand it.

If Jesus was here, do you think Jesus would show me any love? Do you think Jesus would love me?

Getting love is a very small experience. It is the experience of beggar.

Everyone is a virtuoso on his own instrument, but together they add up to an intolerable cacophony.

I know something quite sure. We'll never have peace with this Syrian regime. They'll never give us relief, and we'll never forget that.
