It's no accident that the fastest growing states with the best economies are all led by Republican governors.

My first job was cleaning sheep pens.

As governor, part of my job is to tell people things they don't like to hear.

I'm a strong supporter of states' rights to do what they need.

I was a professional gambler. When I lived in London, there were a couple of years when I didn't really earn money doing anything else. I mean, I did other things: like, I made work, and I was working with Derek Jarman at the time, but the way I made money was putting money on horses.

The more harder you work, the less you're out spending your money.

I think a lot of times it's not money that's the primary motivation factor; it's the passion for your job and the professional and personal satisfaction that you get out of doing what you do that motivates you.

A lot of people can raise money.
