My childhood, adolescence and high school days are unusually important. If there has ever been a time that I developed a uniqueness and sense of humor and the ability to organize, it was then. In those early days, I developed the skills that gave me a certain degree of success in American politics.

Just keep stirring the pot, you never know what will come up.

Perception is reality.

I think I learned pretty early that in the end, its only you. To an extent, youre all alone.
