I'm not a policy wonk, and I don't dream of being a political operative.

It's really important that policy be properly designed. It's not enough just to.. .get angry over a subject.

I'm not a policymaker, I'm not a pundit. In fact, I don't have any interest in it. It's not on my agenda.

I'm a policy guy, believe it or not. I love policy. I love solving tough problems.

You do the policy, I'll do the politics.

I'm not in the business of changing policies. I hope to inform, not form, decisions.

The day-to-day making of policy is arguing all the time. You're trying to get the right approach and the right answer, and there are moments that aren't very pleasant. But in the end, you look at the overall product.

I'm committed to voting to repeal Obamacare or defending it as much as possible.
