We have the best-trained military in the world.

If we engage in a conflict that we know this is a threat to America, we should make it so one-sided that it gets over very quickly.

The best thing for the American public is that we do our job. That Washington changes. That the Senate and the House get together and fix their differences and find common ground.

I think it's undignified if you don't do your job.

Not to say people shouldn't get rich from art. I adore the alchemy wherein artists who cast a complex spell make rich people give them their money. (Just writing it makes me cackle.) But too many artists have been making money without magic.

I like the idea of getting money from corporations to do funny bits as long as they don't meddle.

I realized early on that I was pretty good at organizing. A lot of it was about control. While my friends were out getting hammered at concerts, I was making money. I am a control freak.

Children born to business travelers, foreign students, tourists, and illegal aliens would not be automatically citizens of the United States.
