If we treated politics like more of a profession, like it should be, we would all be a lot better off.

If we want politics to be the kind of arena where you're attracting and encouraging really competent people who do a job well because that's what they're supposed to do, then you have to pay them a salary that's commensurate with that.

If I make the mistake of eating breakfast, I want to go back to bed and/or eat again immediately.

We're all biased, right, in many different ways - politically, religiously, ideologically, the way our family raised us - and that's fine. Nobody wants to live in a world where everybody thinks exactly the same. The key, though, is to try to figure out where your biases are holding you back from solving problems.

Most of our technology issues aren't partisan.

I also wanted Parker to operate in the Internet age without losing being Parker. He's always operated in the world without really being with the world, and cyberspace means that the rest of us are more and more living the same way.

Surprisingly, I think if you're known on the Internet, you're probably an introvert.
