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

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.

Now that I'm a political pundit, I have the ability to influence people.

I was never the cool kid in school, and loads of people told me that I was weird, that I dressed uncool and did uncool things, that I was too nice, too happy.

I'm a typical college girl; I love to shop and gossip with my roommates about boys and whatnot.

And I'm a Hailsham student - which is enough by itself sometimes to get people's backs up.

There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home.

If I were a maker of books I should compile a register, with comments, of different deaths. He who should teach people to die, would teach them to live.

There can be no doubt that if we had been victorious on the Vistula, the revolutionary fires would have reached the entire continent.

I'm a history person; I love history. But I am conditioned by the present.

Ive been playing swing chords for a long time.

Its not age as much as the experiences I have had.

My only want and wish, really, was to tell a good story. I wanted to do good work, tell a good story, and give the character a voice. Those were my only expectations.
