Quote

I would like to continue to tell stories of what I did in a biographical way, so I will continue to write.

What I do not want to write is didactic political tracts.

I was never supposed to make it to Congress. I was a staff person.

I would be concerned if any speech to Congress related any information that's new to the president of the United States.

I play a curator, the most American part you can think of. My work is to protect the Declaration of Independence. I work at the National Archives in Washington.

I'm writing an unauthorized autobiography.

Political biography is in the doldrums. No one wants to read 800 pages or so of cradle-to-grave dead politics, especially if it's familiar stuff and has all been written about before.
