You can't beat somebody with nobody.

As a lobbyist, I was completely against term limits, and I know a lot of people are against term limits, and I was one of the leaders, because why? As a lobbyist, once you buy a congressional office, you don't have to re-buy that office in six years, right?

Everybody's a complex person. Everybody. Everybody's nuanced.

I can't vote again ever, so political party is not a relevant thing for me.

Words will not be able to ever express how sorry I am for this, and I have profound regret and sorrow for the multitude of mistakes and harm I have caused.

One of my personality defects, perhaps, is that I'm rather ADD, and I work on a bunch of things at once.

In the past two years, I've started the process of becoming a new man. I am much chastened and profoundly remorseful over the reckless and hurtful things I have done in my life, especially those which have brought me before you today.
