I support giving President Obama the ability to negotiate and complete new trade agreements with some of the fastest-growing economies in the world.

I am not a professional politician.

We have to start grounding our policies in facts and recognize that a strong economy is critical for funding progressive priorities.

Oil is largely our energy past, and Keystone does little to respond to the actual challenges and opportunities before us.

So I'm in that half-hour business where the most money is, so that eventually I feel like the people that put on the Dupont show, like maybe my artistic effort is going to be a little different.

If you get to think of sharing wealth with people who need it and the purposes that need it, it gives a very different sense of satisfaction. I think I can build an institution which is very unlike the Gates' foundation. Gates' foundation is totally project-driven, that will serve a specific purpose and then self-destruct.

I'm not a businessperson. I have no sense of money. My mom does everything for me. She makes all my decisions for me, and even buys my clothes. She's very protective.

I don't run after money or fame. The only thing I have always wished is to be a classical singer.
