I cannot be separated from Rudy Giuliani, but I am also not Rudy Giuliani.

I'm never surprised by the insensitivity of 'The New York Times' editorial board.

I was born a limited-government person. I've always had this streak going through me.

I still am a virulent anti-communist. It is a bad system, an immoral system, and one that takes away the rights of people and the rights of individuals. And everywhere it's gone, it's failed.

My dad was a New York City cop. His father was a New York City fireman. And my mother's dad was a city taxi driver.

Government should steer, not row.

I was the first one in my family to go to college.

I was born here in the city, born in the Bronx. Son of a cop. One grandfather was a taxi driver; the other was a firefighter. New York is in my DNA.

Government is to point you in the right direction, and not to do everything for you.

My favorite is always the book that I'm currently reading.

My earliest memories are of my father explaining to me the American Dream and how he expected me to do better than he did.

I love doing serious movies for adults.

A child cannot pay for its mother’s milk.

Solitude is fine when you are at peace with yourself and have something definite to do.

I influenced the BG style by not being able to draw perspective. The BG artists developed cool graphic painting styles to make my bad backgrounds look like they were that way on purpose.

I always think of books as being like people. Even the dull ones are worthy of decent respect, but you don't have to seek them out and spend time with them.

I always believed that whatever had to be written would somehow get itself written.
