I seem to be some sort of lightning rod. I just really irritate people, you know? I really do.

I have run across characters in my political career that have that singular focus of being someone, being in a position of power.

I am involved with politics today because of the inspiration I received from Ronald Reagan.

I've tried to lead a progressive, activist government.

I still want to hold on to my beliefs, and as long as I have that, I won't stray too far from politics.

I work in a hostile atmosphere, and my voters are the only strength I have.

I think I can achieve more outside the political arena.

I thought I was really a radical, political person, which of course I am not.

I am now the target of the most powerful man in this country, with an army of aides whose major responsibility today seems to be to attack me and get rid of me.
