My focus has been on being a good congressman, and there is so much other work to do.

I just want to be a really good congressman. You should look at what you are today and be the very best you can.

What I find with my fellow female members of Congress is that we tend to work very hard. While we're very focused, we can also multitask a lot better.

A reputation as a hard worker is a good reputation to have.

I'm a pretty hard worker.

I've worked hard all my life.

I don't think I had a reputation as a hard worker, but inside I was always being eaten up by the pressures.

I have an ability to work collegially across a wide range of interests in the caucus and in the Congress, and an ability to work on a bipartisan basis. Appropriators pride themselves on that.

Many people who know me call me 'the hardest working man in the news business' because you're never, ever going to outwork me.

I don't work hard enough. If I had worked harder I might have been prime minister.
