I never wanted to be a career politician. I always am interested just to take on challenges that everyone says are impossible to do and to take it on.

Failure is not an option. Everyone has to succeed.

Do you have to discipline yourself to have breakfast, lunch or dinner? Of course not; and so discipline - the usual concept of it - doesn't apply here. I had to discipline myself to learn English, but never to train.

Some information I just keep to myself.

The forest fires are the worst disaster in California since I was elected.

California will not wait for our federal government to take strong action on global warming. We won't wait for the federal government. We will move forward because we know it's the right thing to do. We will lead on this issue and we will get other western states involved. I think there's not great leadership from the federal government when it comes to protecting the environment.

Trust yourself,..dig deep down and ask yourself who you want to be? Not what, but who?
