Politicians generally respond to who is going to help them get elected and re-elected.

I like what I see when I look in the mirror. If I get sentimental, I look and say, "Uh. It's a bad day. They beat up on me," this, that, and the other thing. But ya know? We've spent one billion trying to convince people to not smoke. It's been phenomenally successful. We've probably saved millions of lives. There aren't many people that have done that. So, you know, when I get to heaven, I'm not sure I'm gonna stand for an interview. I'm going right in.

My personal view is, why don't you get out there and try to do something about the things that you don't like, create the jobs that we are lacking, rather than just yell and scream. But if you want to yell and scream, we'll make sure you can do it.

Getting the job done has been the basis for the success my company has achieved.

In our democracy, near equality is no equality. Government either treats everyone the same, or it doesn't. And right now it doesn't.

I'd be derelict in my duty if I didn't go and continue to use every advantage that I can to promote New York's cause.
