As I've been acting since I was young it's taught me to give a good speech, and, though I say so myself, I did it pretty well.

Before I got into politics, I wanted to be a missionary to people in the Middle East. I thought it would be better to speak with them in their own language.

My dad thinks Obama is a socialist and all these extreme views.

Bill Bennett really became an idol for me. I listened to him every morning from 6 to 9 for, oh, years.

Now that I'm a political pundit, I have the ability to influence people.

I am an only child and home-schooled, so I have no siblings or classmates.

I believe that this is the key, the principle itself is the key to conservatism. Because in many ways if you do not have a principled base you do not have policy and if you do not have policy in many ways you do not have an ideology.
