Whenever the government says, 'It's time to move on,' that means there's something they don't want you to know about.

I believe in the separation of church and state. We all have our own religious beliefs. There are people out there who are atheists, who don't believe at all. . . . They are citizens of Minnesota, and I have to respect that.

Is it government's job to make up for someone's mistakes?

My children were attacked by the Minnesota media when I was governor.

I don't have the patience to sit and write.

You can't legislate morality.

I ain't got time to bleed.
