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

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.

I listened to Bill Bennett and tons of other talk show hosts who talked about that and other policies and started branching out and caring about other issues in regards to politics.

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