My mother taught me everything I know; how to speak properly, posture, enunciation.

I'd like to do policy and I'd like to do philosophy, I'd like to be able to get into the depth, into the meat of the argument - that's the kind of stuff I want to do.

I got into politics when I was eight years old.

I have good voice inflection, that's why I'm good on radio. But on TV, I look too big because I move my hands around a lot.

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

I want the American people to understand that conservatism... is an ideology of protecting the people and the people's rights.

In the book I define conservatism, as I believe it is fit upon four categories of principle: respect for The Constitution, respect for life, less government, and personal responsibility.
