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.

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.

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

I got into politics when I was eight years old. Six years now. And I got involved because I started listening to talk radio. It goes back to one event. The Democrats filibustered something in the Senate when I was eight years old. I don't remember what it was on and I didn't honestly care when I was eight years old. I cared about the history and the Senate rules.

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.
