In motivating people, you've got to engage their minds and their hearts. I motivate people, I hope, by example - and perhaps by excitement, by having productive ideas to make others feel involved.

Anger is a good motivator.

The public is mad, frustrated, but what the public wants is progress.

What is obnoxious about the motives of politicians - whatever those motives may be - is that politicians must announce their motives as visionary and grand.

Everything in politics is politically motivated, didn't you know?

I share the anger, but, ultimately, to govern this country, it takes more than anger. It takes experience. It takes positions that reflect the best values of the American people.

In 13 years of doing my day job, I've learned a few things about motivating people. It's about setting a vision and, as long as everyone knows why they're doing what they're doing, you achieve that vision.

People like passion in politics.

The motivation is important for me to act it, but I don't necessarily want the audience to know my motivation.

I've found that when everyone rallies behind a cause, and when they learn their effort can contribute something bigger, they get engaged.
