About 70 percent of everything is really sketched out on my keyboard beforehand, because I do want accidents to happen in the studio.

It's time to put our differences aside and find ways to work together to move Wisconsin forward.

We showed that when we say 'Wisconsin is open for business', we mean it.

The unions say 'last hired - first fired,', we say hire and fire based on merit. We want the best and brightest in the classroom.

I'd like now and into the future to play a bigger role not only in Wisconsin and the Midwest, but nationally. I'd like to have an impact.

America takes her writers too seriously.

In moments of crisis, the initiative passes to those who are best prepared.

Oh it gets so lonely When you're walking And the streets are full of strangers

There's often a natural inclination to want more.

Go out and do for others what somebody did for you.

I do everything in the third person. Performance is about being someone else.
