You will find in politics that you are much exposed to the attribution of false motive. Never complain and never explain.

For better or worse, I've been involved in the description of political conflict.

I understand that the nature of politics sometimes involves fending off frivolous, anonymous allegations.

I think it's my interaction with journalists that has pegged me more as political than my actual records, although they have obviously political aspects to them as well.

Throughout my political life, I've not been a stranger to controversy.

I think I brush the surface of being involved politically with the issues and the personalities in the news.

I don't really have funny things to say about politics. I wish I did, but I don't.

I look forward to these confrontations with the press to kind of balance up the nice and pleasant things that come to me as president.

I haven't been in politics too long so that's a good thing.

I don't think I have the demeanor to be a politician. I'm used to making decisions and to a certain extent being in charge.
