Since my initials are J. U., people called me Ju. Or Jujube, like the candy.
31
I follow blogs, particularly all the main political ones – Guido Fawkes, Iain Dale, Coffee House, Paul Waugh, Iain Martin in the Wall Street Journal, and so on. And some American ones, like the Huffington Post, Gawker, Boing Boing; or Eater and Daily Candy, also American, which are about where to go to eat.

I became an entrepreneur as a child. I liked the art of the deal whether I was mowing lawns or selling candy or promoting clubs at the age of 16. I understood early on the importance of knowing my numbers and surrounding myself with the best people.
41
Making movies is eating candy. It’s a very expensive candy, so you value when you can do it. So when you can do it twice at once, it’s like, you know, a kid in a candy store!

I can definitely eat more of some candy than I should, so I have found that if I have coffee or a chai latte, it curbs the sugar craving.

Few men in their 70s looked as good as my father did. What was his secret? Genes, maybe, since he didn’t exercise or diet, and he kept a candy drawer, drank a pot of black coffee every day, and read in the middle of the night. Still, he took such joy in being a dad – and in life in general – and his happiness showed.
56
When I started Dylan‘s Candy Bar in 2001, I wanted it to be a place that merged my love of pop culture, fashion, art and music with candy. Since then, we have been fortunate to pioneer artistic partnerships with many legends.

If I’m recording a song, and it’s kind of fuzzed out, but I’ve got this super candy melody, I feel nothing but freedom that I can just sing over the top, and it will be appreciated. It won’t be like, ‘What is he doing?’
61
62
A little dark chocolate in small amounts often helps lift me out of those blue moments. When I walk into my favorite store on Union Street in San Francisco that sells high-quality chocolates from around the world, I feel like, well, a kid in a candy store.

There’s a reason they only serve fruitcake once a year, because it’s awful. There’s a reason they only serve mint julep’s once a year, because they’re awful. And there’s a reason they only serve candy corn once a year, because it’s awful.

My family moved from Massachusetts to Maryland after my sophomore year of high school, and that’s when I got the audition for ‘Uncle Buck.’ I took the train into New York, and I think I did the test with John Candy. Then I got the part, and it was my first movie and my first screen anything.

72
I could not be arm candy to a hero.
73
I sort of as a kid was fascinated with all the fat comedians, like John Candy, John Belushi, Benny Hill.
74
I can’t be an arm candy to the hero. I need to play characters that have layers, that people can relate to.
75
I had been terrified of Halloween my entire adult life. Loved it as a kid, but the minute I got out of college, there were little kids at my door demanding candy, which, No. 1, I couldn’t afford, and, No. 2, if I had candy, it would be mine.
76
77
I remember candy rationing until I was, like, 7.
78
I was a typical boy growing up, even though I wasn’t particularly outgoing or chatty. I loved running around and playing football. My siblings and I are only a year apart in age, so we played together. Sometimes it was good being so close, sometimes it wasn’t – like when they’d steal my candy and toys.
79
I’m an American except when I’m in the supermarket or at the candy store.

I’ve been sent lots of lovely gifts – everything from candy and peanut butter to hand-made quilts, pictures, and clothing. I was once sent a crate of avocados. Fortunately, I love them.

108

Candy is my fuel. Ice cream, too.
111
I usually spend Valentines Day with my friends. But if I did have a girlfriend, I’d bring her flowers and candy.
112
113
I wanted a song my 6-year-old niece could listen to in the car. ‘Everyday is Christmas‘ sounds like a sweet sentiment, but in reality if every day were actually Christmas it would be a candy cane-riddled hellscape from which the human race could never awaken. So we’re lucky it is just a lighthearted Christmas tune.

I hate the term ‘arm candy.’ But, look, a woman’s figure is a beautiful thing, and if she has shapely legs, then she should show them off, because men love to see that. Not just heterosexual men – gay men like to see a woman in her beauty and the shape of her.

126
When people see me, I might come across as just eye candy.
127
Whether it be cereal technology or candy technology or snack technology, puff snacks, I’m always curious to know how those things are made and how we can take that technology, those ingredients, and apply it to a stand-alone restaurant.
128
129
I’m not a chocolate man. I’m Skittles, anything made by Wonka. You know, I like candy, not chocolate.
130
131
There are so many tricks and so much eye candy in cinema. What I love about the classicism of genre is that there’s a discipline. I think it’s a healthy thing to resist all that candy.
132
My passion is really candy, but I know that I can use art and fashion as inspiration.

The first series I wrote, ‘L.A. Candy,’ was always meant to be a three-book series, so when I started out it was all outlined that way and by the time I was done with the third book, I had become so involved and the process and the stories, I was a little bit sad to be done.

I eat a lot of candy. I can’t survive without candy.

I was pretty nervous when I met Robert DeNiro. I kind of felt like a kid in a candy store for the first time. I couldn’t wipe the grin off of my face. But Bobby DeNiro was really, really sweet and made me feel very comfortable. He’s very low-key and just a superstar professional, and totally someone to be admired.
143
When I played Candy Darling in ‘I Shot Andy Warhol,’ that was easy to play that part. They made me into a woman: I’m in heels; I’m waxed. I’m gonna find the femininity and lay on the bed and take the voice of an old movie star.

Unglee’ has a big heart and it is in the right place. It is very different script. It is not all candy floss.

I always loved the retail entertainment sector, like FAO Schwartz, where it’s a little more exciting than just going into a little corner deli candy place.

I want to get a vending machine, with fun sized candy bars, and the glass in front is a magnifying glass. You’ll be mad, but it will be too late.

In the hot summer months, popsicles are a perfect way to cool down while enjoying a delicious, fruity treat. Frozen, refreshing, mouth-friendly candy on a stick cannot get any better… or can it?
174
I love eating junk food. I’m a huge snacker, chips and candy.
175
176
I hate to tell you this, but I did not even like visiting Versailles. I found it just too ornate. It was like a complete diet of cotton candy, marzipan, and whipped cream. It gave me the mental equivalent of one of those toothaches you get when you bite into something too sweet.
177
All the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911.
178
179
I wasn’t good at being affable. You get beyond that and realise the attraction in any human being has more to do with what they give to someone rather than just being face candy.

182
I can’t be the candy queen forever.
183

185
I found this deer toy that poops out candy. And so if I say, ‘Cree, you have to go to bed right now. You will get a candy.’ We’ve named the pooping deer ‘Gus.’… He gets a jelly bean. And it works. Positive reinforcement is the way to go. I’m learning things like that which help me be a better parent.

People making it like I sit there and eat a whole plate of candy before I play a basketball game. I don’t think anyone could do that.

190
Candy is childhood, the best and bright moments you wish could have lasted forever.
191
I don’t really remember, but I’m positive that whenever I cried, my mother gave me something to eat. I’m sure that whenever I had a fight with the little girl next door, or it was raining and I couldn’t go out, or I wasn’t invited to a birthday party, my mother gave me a piece of candy to make me feel better.
192
My father was in the civil service. I can remember standing in a bus shelter in the pouring rain, and that we were allowed candy floss at the end of the holiday if we had behaved.
193
194
I only eat candy on Halloween. No lie.
195
I went to Lunenburg, when we were filming there, and I was like, ‘We can’t film anywhere else. This place is perfect. It is ‘Haven.’ It’s absolutely beautiful. That town is eye candy.
196
197
I admit that I look at my social media when I’m killing time, like on a plane and such. It’s just less embarrassing getting caught on Twitter than getting caught playing Candy Crush.
198
It was so fun to see my hair all brushed out – it looked like caramel-flavored cotton candy!
199
For me, university was just awful because it was closing one door after the other of all these candy shops of professional possibilities.

Arguably, the first five years of ‘Saturday Night Live‘ were some of the most radical things ever seen on television. When NBC said, ‘Okay, you can do a show from 11:30 to 1 on Saturday night,’ they didn’t think anyone would watch. It was like giving a piece of the candy store to the kids.
201
202
203
You can eat a lot more vegetables than you can cotton candy. Bring on the veggies. Stay away from the fluffy carbs.
204
More men than women like ‘Strangers With Candy’. Pretty girls don’t like the show. They don’t like to see an ugly lady.
205
I’d like to see mothers at home be more assertive, be unapologetic, give themselves permission, and to stand up for themselves as an equal parent, whether that is being a parent who’s authoritative and needs to discipline and put healthy boundaries in, or to serve out the candy.

My kids know there’s no candy, no soda, until the weekend. Those are the days they get to indulge in their sweets. We’re big on organic food. I’m not a diet guy; I don’t believe in diets. I just believe in a great meal plan.
210
I started acting pretty young, so I haven‘t had too many odd jobs. But I used to sell candy out of my locker in middle school.

I love candy!

216
I don’t listen to the radio, cause I don’t have a driver‘s license. But if I’m in L.A. or somewhere where we have to rent a car, I’ll hear my songs. Sometimes I hear them when I’m in stores, and I’m still like a little kid in a candy shop: ‘Oh my God, that’s my song!’ I don’t know how that could ever get old.
217
218
The funny thing about the entertainment business is that we all feel like kids playing in a candy store, but we are entrusted with millions and millions and millions of dollars and an entire industry that can thrive or die on whether or not we do our jobs well or not.
219
Like Christmas, Easter has lost much of its religious meaning in popular culture. Ask your average kid what the holiday is about and they will tell you all about the Easter Bunny, eggs hunts and baskets full of candy.
220
I like to work out. I work out hard when I get to it, but it’s so sporadic, I’m not sure it counts at all! I eat pretty much anything, but I eat high-quality food. There was never a packet of chips or box of candy in my house when I was growing up. Ever.
221
I say ‘no’ to nothing, ‘yes‘ to moderation. That’s how I approach everything. No matter if it’s candy or foie gras. When you have the real deal, you’re satisfied with that one bite. I say go full throttle and call it a day.
222
I don’t want flowers or candy or anything like that. I just want somebody to say, ‘Wow, you’ve done a great job.’
223
Sometimes I think that the one thing I love most about being an adult is the right to buy candy whenever and wherever I want.
