If I can take on 100,000 protesters, I can do the same across the world.

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.

But I don't want massive layoffs of anyone - public or private. We are planning on shrinking government through attrition and reform, not through random pink slips.

I promised to empower the taxpayer - instead of a handful of big government union bosses.

I still remember, as a kid, tying a yellow ribbon around a tree in front of my house during the 444 days that Iran held 52 Americans hostage. Iran is not a place we should be doing business with.

I hate big government, but I really hate a government that doesn't work. So when 'they say we either have to raise taxes or cut core services,' it's actually a 'false choice.

When we win, it will tell every politician in America that if you are bold, if you do the right thing, if you tackle the tough issues, there will be people standing there right with you.

Collective bargaining isn't a right, it is an expensive entitlement. Once and for all, we are giving the taxpayers a voice in this debate. We put the power back in the hands of the people.

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.

I want to do things so wild with you that I don't know how to say them.

Sometimes I am so dry that people don't know I'm kidding and think I'm being serious. I enjoy this because their reactions are often funny.

I think I'm probably quite geeky in a lot of ways. I'm pretty into books, kind of obsessive about that.

I don't know anything offhand that mystifies Americans more than the cotton they put in pill bottles. Why do they do it? Are you supposed to put the cotton back in once you've taken a pill out?

A great advantage I had when I started The Body Shop was that I had never been to business school.

Honesty makes me feel powerful in a difficult world.

I've been directing more and more the last few years, I find it an enjoyable challenge.

I sing the National Anthem, while I'm standing, over your body, hold you like a python.

I'm very, very pleased to be cleared of any legal wrongdoing, any hint of any kind of unethical activity there. Very pleased to be cleared of any of that.

I do not intend to prejudge the past.
