I've gone from being one of the youngest governors to now the longest consecutive serving governor in the country.

I didn't write to be famous; I wrote to keep a record.

I was governor of Kansas when Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts.

I'm a former governor, and so I was the chief executive, and when the legislature wasn't in session, I was running the state.

I concentrated on a lot of things, so very few people saw me as an education governor, an infrastructure governor.

Originally I considered myself a singer.

There are very few people who have had as much public impact as I've already had... without being elected to public office in Massachusetts.
