I support myself by public speaking and trying to work on as many appropriate and legitimate ventures as I can.

As a lobbyist, I thought it only natural and right that my clients should reward those members who saved them such substantial sums with generous contributions. This quid pro quo became one of hallmarks of our lobbying efforts.

A senator will come off Capitol Hill and they'll be barred from two years from lobbying in the Senate. So they'll pick the phone up and they'll call their buddy, the senator, their old buddies, and they'll say, 'Listen, I'm here at this law firm now. I can't lobby you, but my new partner, Jack, can lobby you.'

I think the American people deserve somebody telling them what is really happening in Washington.

In the past few years I have begun the process of becoming a new man.

Human beings are weak.

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