Quote

Once you're a Virginian, you're always a Virginian.

I'm not an ordinary prisoner.

I had a 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' experience as governor.

I live a very dull life here... indeed I think I am more like a state prisoner than anything else.

I'm not a Washington person.

People oftentimes refer to me as 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.' So, I'm Mr. Johnson. I'm a complete outsider.

I am not a prisoner of my sexuality like men younger than myself although I write about being a prisoner.

I am now a commander of the British Empire.

For the record, I'm a Second World War veteran and served in the Pacific.
