I haven't lost my head yet.

I believe public education is the new civil rights battle and I support charter schools.

I'm running for governor; I'm not running for a legislative office.

I think naturally my orientation is from my father.

There is no dispute that Albany needs to be changed. There is no dispute that the current situation in Albany is untenable. Nobody knows that better than I do.

Politicians are good listeners. Because if they're not, they aren't politicians for very long.

Their problem is not me and the Democrats; their problem is themselves. Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay? Is that who they are? Because if that's who they are and they're the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York.
