CHARLIE BELL

Life is not a rehearsal.

I was getting old, man. I was staring 27 in the face.

My philosophy in all my jobs at McDonald's is to be honest and say what I think and mean what I say.

Many of the criticisms about McDonald's are false. We are keen to provide people with as much nutritional information as possible to help them manage their diets.

The biggest threat to McDonald's lies within - and that is us as a company becoming complacent. There are a lot of companies that get fat, dumb and happy and take their eye off the ball and forget about serving customers.

The problem with naming a No. 2 is you really want to throw all your weight behind the guy who is going to be the leader.

Australians are pretty blunt and we say things how they really are.

It would be arrogant of us for me to say everything at McDonald's is perfect.

Someone once said that life is what happens while we are making other plans. I now know what that means.

We're not perfect, but we want to do the right thing.
