“I'm not a public figure at all. I don't really go out a lot to places where there are people like those who sit at the bottom of your driveway.”

“I have the responsibility of over four million people, and I am in a position to do good, to be able to bring about a new life for my people, and I will continue to move in that direction. It's a burden, but it needs to be done, and you have to have the courage and wisdom to see it through.”
