There are a lot of things my mother taught me and helped me and disciplined me and made sure I stayed on the right track. And there are a ton of things that only my father could have taught me.

It's an awesome feeling being a father, because you never think you can fall in love with something so quickly. It was almost immediate.

Anytime you run a gimmick offence, you're a little bit afraid - you're not sound in what you're doing in your base stuff.

Good, bad or indifferent, I'm transparent with my opinions and what I believe. I just don't think in politics you can be that way.

If I don't have the books to read, if I don't have the information to study, how can I succeed? That's a lot of the stuff I would focus on if I was elected because I think knowledge is power.

But there was a hockey game where they didn't even play hockey, they just threw the puck aside and started fighting. I saw that and I thought, 'Oh man, I'm a thug?' So I'm really disappointed in being called a thug.

It's hard coming in here talking a big game. It's hard, it's hard. It's a lamb coming to the wolves and throwing meat at them.
