Personally, I think Julian Assange is a hero.

I decided to run for governor because I got mad... I want to make government more directly accountable to the people.

I don't have to muzzle myself when I'm a civilian. When you're a governor, you kind of have to do it, because you represent the whole state. You have to leave your personal opinions to yourself a lot. I learned that.

I make my own music and I don't criticize others.

When you live in Mexico, your houses all have names.

There are a lot of good causes out there, but they can't possibly all be served by government.

I tend to like to read history - recent history, because I find that much more intriguing than just a writer's imagination.
