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

Unemployment, foreclosures, bankruptcy - the cure is not more government spending, but helping businesses create jobs.

Nevada was hit hardest by the recession - highest unemployment, highest foreclosure rate, highest bankruptcy rate.

I know that many students take personal responsibility for their education and succeed as a result. I want them to know they are not alone - that Nevada's system can and will support them.

Racial profiling is illegal, and I do not support it.

We must remind Americans that the promise of opportunity remains unbroken - that every person in this great nation can succeed through hard work, courage and personal responsibility.

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

I am proud of my heritage and my family.

My first job was cleaning sheep pens.

Dad worked his entire career as an aviation technician. Mom was a legal secretary who became a teacher. We lived a simple American life.

When you talk about a 'broad-based business tax,' that's a pretty broad term. I don't know what that means. But it's not something I would be supportive of.

I think when you are doing a song you're trying to give people enough details that they connect.

A garden should be in a constant state of fluid change, expansion, experiment, adventure; above all it should be an inquisitive, loving, but self-critical journey on the part of its owner.

When all you can feel are the shadows, turn your face towards the sun.

Without design, there may be representation, but there can be no art.

I still know I have an awful lot to learn, and I hope I'm put in whatever situation it is that's gonna help me learn it, or that I'll get to watch really good people do what they do.

Farewell, my children, forever. I go to your Father.

So you’re saying the afterlife is hard on the libido? FYI, that’s probably not a good bullet point for your recruiting brochure.

The Seed of Chucky is not a good thing to watch before you get married.

I'm good where I am at this moment.
