I have good voice inflection, that's why I'm good on radio. But on TV, I look too big because I move my hands around a lot.

I am an only child and home-schooled, so I have no siblings or classmates.

In the book I define conservatism, as I believe it is fit upon four categories of principle: respect for The Constitution, respect for life, less government, and personal responsibility.

Conservatism is not about the party, because the party is merely the shell. It is the inside - it's the filling that really means something.

I'd like to do policy and I'd like to do philosophy, I'd like to be able to get into the depth, into the meat of the argument - that's the kind of stuff I want to do.

I don't think Obama's a socialist or evil, I just think he's wrong and I disagree with him, he's a leftist, that's what they are in France and in Great Britain and in Canada.

I want the American people to understand that conservatism... is an ideology of protecting the people and the people's rights.

I think that President Obama is beginning to realize that a lot of his plans have backfired.

In politics almost all of us are nerds, so that's just a given... but we're cool nerds.

My dad thinks Obama is a socialist and all these extreme views.

My mother taught me everything I know; how to speak properly, posture, enunciation.

grades really cover up failure to teach.

Shocking writing is like murder: the questions the jury must decide are the questions of motive and intent.

A mother is as different from anything else that God ever thought of, as can possibly be. She is a distinct and individual creation.

For the last 12 years, I've felt really privileged to be living such a normal life. It's so a part of who I am.

Timidity keeps me safe and sad in a narrow room.

I say, if you believe what you read in the comic strips, then you believe that mice run around with little gold buttons on their red pants and drive cars.

I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm.

He who fears from near at hand often fears less.

I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul.
