I've been bragging for over 25 years that my first New York Times bestseller was a book I copied from the U.S. Government Printing Office!

If the government did a good job of publicizing this information, my products wouldn't sell.

What is also strange to me is that public libraries have always been in the forefront of opposing censorship.

Some of the best health care services are free or cost very little and are even available to millionaires but hardly anyone knows they exist.

Well, a lot of politics is communicating with people, and obviously comedy has something to do with that. I've been a producer and led people. Also, being a comedian, you're under pressure.

If the economy is still going forward, even at 40 miles an hour, 50 miles an hour, I think most people will stick with President Obama. I think people look at politics like they hire a plumber. I hire you to fix the bad pipe. If you fix it, I'll rehire you. If you don't fix it, I'm not going to rehire you.

The biggest misconception people have about me is that when they see how young I am, they think, 'Oh, this guy must have always wanted to be in politics; his parents must have been politically connected.' I'm a finance major and always intended to go into business.

I think so many of our educators, when they hear about these programs coming from the federal government, they're just thinking, 'Uh, that's another book of paperwork that I'm going to have to do,' and teachers are so weighed down with that.
