The thing I love about political interviews is, if you're really prepared, you can make great headway because these are the people for whom, theoretically at least, the buck stops.

I'm doing a good job in Washington.

I tell my students that if you have enough preparation, you can handle the big interviews. You won't be intimidated.

When I do interviews, I enter them with an open mind and try to answer the questions the best I can.

I'm pretty open, and when I do interviews, I end up blabbing.

I have the experience and ability to step in on day one in Washington and start working on the challenging problems facing our country.

There have been openings, but I have not interviewed for any jobs, nor do I want to right now.

I have nothing against interviews. I don't pursue them. When people I work for deem it appropriate, I'm perfectly willing to serve.

I never think of access or good will. I just want a good interview. I want guests to be informative and entertaining. I've never been concerned about someone's liking me tomorrow.

I've been giving interviews for the last 25 or 30 years, more often than not answering the same questions over and over again, ad nauseum.
