The message I am trying to get across is exactly this: Protecting the environment does not require us to be against large SUVs or trucks. Instead we should develop technology to cut down greenhouse gas emissions because that is where the action is - it's not about what the size of the car is.

To restore the trust of the people, we must reform the way the government operates.

Luck is for the ill-prepared.

I think that if you grow up trying to be the best then you have to be competitive because the more you compete, the more someone is there that is a challenge and the more your performance improves.

Discipline is what you use when you don't want to do something, when you have to force yourself.

And you know something, because everything that I've gotten - my career, my money, my family; everything that I've gotten and achieved is because of California.

With strength and determination you can do anything you want in life, as long as you believe in yourself, because if you don't, no one else will.
