I would advise people occasionally to take the media on, but only when you know it's a manufactured product and not a news interview.

To be successful, you've got to get the kind of torque that's created by a push and a pull.

Show me a man or woman with a mission, and I'll show you somebody that's tougher to beat.

Growing up in Ohio and just being kind of an average guy from flyover country - my dad was a factory guy - I try to put things on a screen that reflect reality. I don't mind if people want to argue with that, or think that's crazy.

I quit politics because I hated it.

I think I have a good eye for talent. I think I'm smart enough to figure out what the mission is and achieve it. I achieve it by hiring good people.

In general, I think man-on-the- street ads and endorsement spots are having less and less effect on people. The electorate's getting very sophisticated, and they want to make their own judgments.
