I'm coming to the end of my life. I do reflect on what I've done for the 85 years that I have been given so far. And I'm proud of what I've done.

If I were running against Chuck Schumer. I would take every one of his Sunday press releases - and there are 52 for as many years as he's been there - and I would ask, 'How many of the things he said he was proposing became law?' I doubt many.

I know many writers who first dictate passages, then polish what they have dictated. I speak, then I polish - occasionally I do windows.

If you seek violence, we will seek to put you in jail.

...the mayor should not be advancing a policy that encourages [illegal] immigrants to think of New York City as their safe haven.

We're in the hands of the state legislature and God, but at the moment, the state legislature has more to say than God.

God gave me a very good hand to play over my 88 years. I have no regrets.
