I'm in a position where - I mean, not a lot of people are in a very fortunate position - where I kind of have the power to choose what I want to do in a way.

I have friends in politics who really put the friendship to the test through their behavior.

Who am I kidding? I have no reason for being here other that the fact that I want to be near her.
