I have always served the public to the best of my ability. Why? Because, like every other man, it is to my interest to do so.

I don't care half so much about making money as I do about making my point, and coming out ahead.

I have been insane on the subject of moneymaking all my life.

If I had learned education I would not have had time to learn anything else.

When I used to work in television, a tip was rather than looking down the barrel of the camera and imagine people watching, which is terrifying, imagine your most discerning friend observing you, and imagine you're just talking to them.

I was in government for 13 years and in that time only once met the head of the German security services, and that was because he was an old friend. Otherwise, I carefully avoided having anything to do with these people. They are unavoidable but not really necessary.

People who were close to me - family and friends - they knew about my sexuality.

Hockey's filled with great people, and it's a great sport, and I encourage a lot of people to play it because of the relationships that you make in hockey.
