When I look at myself in the mirror, I don't see the bad guy.

Psychopaths don't have that charming skill set. They definitely manipulate, but they do it through focused, unskilled means. They're more obsessive.

I read as many books about the psychology of a psychopath as I could and I researched what exactly happens to soldiers.

You can hear how hard I work, I think, from these stories I'm telling. I'm incredibly dedicated and I'm sort of known as that to a point that people tease me about it.

I'm obsessive about my job and I want it to be as great as it can possibly be, especially right now in these early parts of my career.

I want to make sure everything has my 100%.

When I did Casual, I just let myself put on weight because he's a schoolteacher. He's not meant to be muscle-y.

Intelligence is playing a more important role in policymaker decisions than I think I've ever seen in my time in Congress or before.

I've got libraries in my blood.

I think you have to feel comfortable with your car. You have to go into Turn 1, every lap, with confidence. You have to be sure of yourself and your equipment.

Everyone I know has attention deficit, and they say it with great pride. It's a bad time to be right.

I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I signed on to work with a wrestler.

I hunted far enough to suspect that the Fathers of the Republic who wrote our Sacred Constitution of the United States not only did not, but did not want to, establish a democratic government.

Mind you, I'm going into the bedroom now to talk things over with Heavenly Father

If someone has Ebola at a cocktail party they're contagious and you can catch it from them.

If we're all living in ourselves and mistaking it for life, then we're devaluing and desensitizing life.

The will to do, the soul to dare..
