Going through a long legal battle is not what you sign up for as a fighter.

As a lawyer, I could engage in killer litigation with the best of them. It was war, after all.

If you want to bring an end to long-standing conflict, you have to be prepared to compromise.

I'm a recovering lawyer. The practice of law has changed. Every agreement is a fight.

I really am not going to get involved in a discussion about the legal position of the Iraq war. I am not the person to do that because I am not sufficiently impartial as a lawyer about this, because it's a matter that is of interest to the person that I am closest to in the world.

I am a pretty good lawyer, and I decided to close the office and to enter politics.

Once I decide to do something, I want to win in the worst way. I will do anything within the law to win.

If I am going to pick and choose the laws I defend, I wouldn't be doing my duty as attorney general.

I have to give moral support to my supporters. If I'm not going to fight anymore, that might hurt the feelings of my supporters. They are fighting for democracy. They are fighting for the rule of law.

You need to think, when you get involved in wars, how you're going to get out of them.
