As my Sicilian grandfather used to say, you get more flies with honey than with vinegar, right?

I believe discrimination still exists in society and we must fight it in every form.

I have a portrait of Saint Thomas More in my office.

I don't know people who don't say 'boy, the government is working better now.'

I'm a harsh critic of the status quo.

I believe we need to attract a new generation of the best and brightest to public service and I believe that government can be a source of inspiration, not degradation.

I am against the death penalty.
