I'm not a shill for the Democratic Party.

If I am a Republican shill, wouldn't you think I am the least amount of a threat to the president?

I'm not a follower. I'm a leader. And anyone who speaks their mind is always criticised.

You have heard me say many times that I want strong leaders who feel free to express their opinions.

Well, I've ruffled a few feathers at all the institutions I've led. But I think that's part of leadership.

I've put a lot of thought into being a leader.

A big part of leadership is just being comfortable with the fact that some decisions really are only yours.

I thought I was really a radical, political person, which of course I am not.

I must follow the people. Am I not their leader?

I consider myself a leader. I am not a follower.
