My actual statement during the campaign was I want to be the sheriff of Wall Street, Albany and Main Street. I'm going to go after crime and corruption, wherever it is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I want to live and work in Chicago for the rest of my life. You know when you were growing up and you wanted to become president? What I want now is to be mayor of this damned town in ten years.
Right away when I got to college, I realized that being a politician sucks. It's really hard! It wasn't for me. B.J. Novak is convinced that I will run for mayor of Chicago at some point. He begs me to do it. It'd be a tough gig, but I was always very attracted to the idea of helping people and trying to make the city a better place.
I'm going to go after crime and corruption wherever it is. But I did focus particularly on the need to restore public confidence in essential institutions of both the public and private sector.
I ran for political office in the Hamptons once in a war I was having with the village. I came in, there were four people running, and I came in around third. It was over my food market - they arrested me. I just wanted to go for office because I thought it would be an interesting to do.
I thought I'd grow up to be a teacher, or maybe run for political office.
I want to be the president of Columbia Records, maybe C.E.O. - kind of like L.A. Reid.
I wanted to be a district attorney and solve hidden problems or maybe even be a leper-colony missionary and save people.
I want to be a mayor who helped, really helped.
I have always said I will be in politics to serve as best as I can and it will take me wherever it will take me.
I think I will serve as secretary of state as my last public position.
