The American dream belongs to all of us.

In order to find balance, I feel very strongly about two things in particular in terms of routine. Work out, and eat well.

I've had the good fortune and blessing to run for the offices for which I really wanted to do the work.

I believe in that old adage that 'as goes California, so goes the country.

I work out every morning. Only half an hour. I get on the treadmill. That's it. Every morning, I don't care what time. It gets your blood flowing. It gets your adrenaline flowing. I believe in eating well. It's not fanatical. Eat good food. Make sure you've got good vegetables.

Everybody will make mistakes, and for some that mistake will rise to the level of being a crime.

We need to incorporate that age-old concept of redemption into the work that we do in the criminal justice system in California.
