I have principles and I am not going to be forced to compromise them.

It's not that I'm not willing to compromise. But I won't compromise on principles.

You can compromise without violating your principles, but it is nearly impossible to compromise when you turn principles into ideology.

The fact is, you never compromise on principles. If people on the far Left, they have a principle to stand by, they should never compromise; those of us on the Right should not either.

Never compromise yourself.

I'm willing to negotiate, but not compromise my core principles.

You have to maintain your principles but have a broader appeal.

I'm not ready to do any compromises for my work.

Principles are the most important thing to me. One of the things I think my dad taught me was there are people who accept the world they live in and there are people who change the world they live in. I don't accept my circumstances.

I've always said there is a boulevard that exists between compromising your principles and getting everything you want. Now, we should never compromise our principles. And I never have. Those are the things that people vote for you on, that's the core of who you are. But there's always a boulevard between that and getting everything you want.
