I am not playing for any lobby. I am playing for national lobby. I will ignore lobby. Anybody has useful suggestion, they can give it to me. The history will speak about it.

I don't want to be a lobbyist. I want to provide strategic advice to companies. I said both of those things in the course of the interview, and I made clear this is a matter only for after I had become a private citizen and I was no longer a member of parliament.
I'm not a lobbyist.
My role is not so much to lobby but be a sounding board for people. That's a more effective place for me to be.
I am not a lobbyist. I am not a political activist. I am not a leader, as far as I'm concerned.
I've made it clear that I'm not taking special interest PAC money or accepting donations from lobbyists - ever. I want to represent the interests of the citizens.
There are good people in the lobbying industry. Lobbyists can serve a very useful purpose.
I want to make it clear that the lobbying sector does an important job. It is very useful to the government to hear the views of a broad range of groups to make sure we get the best.

My four years as governor, I never met with a lobbyist once, never. Not one lobbyist got in my office.
I have had lobbyists, and I have had some very good ones. They could do anything.
