Quote

I'm an economist, not a political scientist.

I am not a politician; I've never run for anything in my life. I'm an economist. I'm a broadcaster. I've been an adviser. I worked for Ronald Reagan.

I'm an entrepreneur. I'm not a politician.

I look under the skin of countries' economies, and I help them make better decisions and be stronger, to prosper and create employment.

I'm not a politician. I'm a businessperson.

You can gain in your effectiveness as a politician from a wide acquaintance with the world and from a degree of independence that having some outside interests gives.

I don't think you should go into politics until you can stand on your own two feet economically, if possible, and you know enough about the world.

My politics are: I'm a trustbuster. Very focused. And yeah, I'm pro-efficiency. I want the most economic activity at the lowest price possible. It's good for everybody; it's not red or blue.

I've worked as a diplomat before I became a politician.
