I just talk, and I guess some of my views came out.

I always thought, 'I could go the route of saying some controversial things and have it explode, just do it like that. But I don't do that.' But of course, it wasn't really up to me.

I like the idea that my audience doesn't see what I do as controversial.

I've been in politics now for long enough to not worry about what others are saying, but instead to talk about what I believe.

I want to see a more collective style in how our party operates, in politics as a whole.

I think it's interesting to me to talk to people who don't agree with me all the time.

When I go on 'The View,' or any of those talk shows, you really don't get to say what you want to say.

People have used my views for purposes which are very different from mine.

I join a lot of others who say, as someone who is a first time candidate, you have to realize that words matter, and the things you say have a lot broader impact, and I join those who are thinking that we hope that now that Trump is the Republican nominee there's a shift toward a more thoughtful approach to how and what you communicate.

I couldn't have attended half the parties that I was supposed to have been to according to the newspapers. It bothers me.
