My parents taught me that having a passion is a rare thing, so following it through and working hard, even when it's tough, is important.

I have to be passionate about everything I do.

I think that passion is the secret ingredient that drives hard work and excellence. My passion is to serve the public: to be in the arena of public policy, to have the opportunity to solve problems for our country, to be in a position where I can make a difference.

I'm very glad to have something to be passionate about. I can't imagine a life without passion.

I've got passion, and for people who don't, I make them see how trite their lives are.

I'm very passionate in life, and I'm very determined.

I guess I take a lot of pride in that no matter what type of car we drive, we're always competitive in it. That's something I've taken a lot of pride in my whole life.

Everything's a real passion to me - my children, my family, my work, travel. I don't play tennis, I don't play music, but I have a great time.
