I wanted to work on policy because I think it really makes a difference.

The people of New York took a big chance on me. And I'm well aware of that.

When I think about what we need to do, we have 33,000 people a year who die from guns. I think we need comprehensive background checks, need to close the online loophole, close the gun show loophole. There's other matters that I think are sensible that are the kind of reforms that would make a difference that are not in any way conflicting with the Second Amendment.

I try to read for pleasure whenever I can - it's a great way just to shut it off for a while so your brain doesn't get fried.

I also believe that we have an extraordinary opportunity for the United States and European Union to lead the world in developing and implementing new and more efficient technologies - smart electrical grids and electrical vehicles.

[Donald Trump] even said, well, you know, if there were nuclear war in East Asia, well, you know, that's fine have a good time, folks.

I understand it. People are very willing to say things about me, to make accusations about me that are - I don't get upset about them anymore, but they are very regrettable.
