I am extremely respectful of the Jewish community. You know, I am Christian. I think of Jews as my older brothers. I mean, there wouldn't be Christianity without the Jewish religion. There is a direct connection between the two of them.

I have voted for a Republican for president ever since I was voting and since I was 18 years old.

Government is to point you in the right direction, and not to do everything for you.

My dad was a New York City cop. His father was a New York City fireman. And my mother's dad was a city taxi driver.

My earliest memories are of my father explaining to me the American Dream and how he expected me to do better than he did.

New York is in my DNA.
