Living with the liberals, you get to hear their arguments, fight with them all the time. Keeps me alert.

Central authority is bad. The bias should be for freedom. And without a central authority, there are lots of little authorities, and we learn which ones to trust.

I like taking the subway to work.

I was bullied as a kid, and I got a job on television. And I had a camera. And so I wanted to go after those business bullies. And I just have been following that instinct.

Companies don't get rich hurting their customers.

Private businesses ought to get to discriminate.

I saw how the regulation I called for made things worse, didn't help consumers and simple competition was better. And I started praising business and occasionally criticizing regulation.

The people who tried government regulation have lives which are miserable.

We have all kinds of government compensation systems that are much more efficient than the lawyers.

Patrick Henry did not say, 'Give me absolutely safety or give me death.' America is supposed to be about freedom.

A thousand restaurants close every month. They re-open, and that's good for America. Nobody's rescuing them. They employ people, too. If we let them go bankrupt, the factories don't go away, the creative people don't go away. They get employed more productively by others.
