If you make the choice to serve the public, public service, then serve the public, not yourself.

All I have, really, is my creativity.

Congress doesn't hate Congress.

I'm an aggressive person.

I try to avoid saying anything positive about any presidential candidate for fear that if I actually like them then I will kill their campaign.

You can't take a congressman to lunch for $25 and buy him a hamburger or a steak or something like that. But you can take him to a fundraising lunch and not only buy him that steak, but give him $25,000 extra and call it a fundraiser. And have all the same access and all the same interactions with that congressman.

Lobbying is not a bad thing. I'm not trying to say that we shouldn't have lobbyists or we shouldn't have lobbying to petition our government. It's in the Constitution, and it's something that should be honorable and good.
