Life is the division of human cells, a process which begins at conception.

Politics takes patience, time, listening and endless meetings.

I grew up in the '50s and '60s when Jack Kennedy was president. We would watch him on television. And our teachers always talked about the good things public servants could do. I thought maybe that's something I should do. So when I got out of law school, my wife, Jane, and I became precinct captains.

Eventually I foresee voting on the Internet, which will lead to much more direct democracy.

When you succeed (with legislation), that feeling is exhilaration. And it takes leadership from a president, which means you meet with members of Congress 24/7 and you talk and you listen.

Democracy is interactive... Its a constant job of information, education, explanation, listening, and interactive communication.
