I do not want to stay in Washington.

I didn't come to Washington to be part of the problem.

I would never, ever in my life say, 'I want to go to Washington to heal the soul of Washington.'

Every time I go to Washington, I break out in a cold sweat. So I try not to spend too much time there.

That first week, I also went to Washington. That was really tough. I sympathize with those Washington figures who have to face 40 Times Washington bureau reporters. They ask hard questions and they're relentless. And they were quite suspicious and quite dubious about me.

I grew up in Seattle, but I always knew I wanted to leave.

I'm the only honest person in Washington.

I travel a lot and rarely make it home to Seattle.
