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

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.

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.

Conservatism is not about the party, because the party is merely the shell. It is the inside - it's the filling that really means something.

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

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.
