“As a politician, you have to deal with someone wanting you to fail every day. I think I prefer being in a situation where generally people are rooting for me, and if they aren't rooting for me, they aren't out there to see my downfall. I respect the people who have the stomach for it.”

“When you're famous, you don't get to meet people because they want you to like them when the present themselves to you, and you don't see the real people.”
