I play a crazy talk-show host, but that's not me. It's like an actor playing a role.

I treat politics kind of like my religion. It’s something I believe in, but I don’t want to have to make a living at it, because if you make a living at it, you somehow become dishonest.

I knew early on that I would do politics, but I would never make a living at it. I would do something else.

I create this persona for the show. And that's what it is. I'm an act.

My campaign is based upon the proposition that the answers to the problems which currently plague our cities, our towns, and our homes, are not to be found in the decisions in Washington. They are instead to be found in the hearts, minds and resources of our own people here at home.

In one generation, my family went from extermination simply because of how they pray to God to this ridiculously privileged life I live today. So how can I not love America?

I'm a happy guy, but if I'm in a rare dark mood, I won't go out because I don't want to be horrible to people.
