The bottom line as far as I was concerned was presenting to the public who Gerry Ferraro was.
If you think somebody cares about you and believes your life is worth saving, how can you give up?
I do believe in the power of prayer.
My desk drawer is filled with all kinds of prayers.
I'm a happy camper because by doing this I have an opportunity to be on the cutting edge of research.
I have been extremely lucky; I am a person who is currently living with a cancer that is under control.
People who live through transplants or disasters like Sept. 11 are survivors.
I don't consider myself a survivor; that's someone who has gone through something terrible.
See that's a goal that I think it's very good in the debate to find out who the person is.
But I do think its necessary to have debates.
President Reagan's one-liners were terrific.
I enjoyed debate on the floor but it's not really debate in the same way.
I was a trial lawyer when I was elected to Congress.
I didn't serve on a committee that dealt with foreign policy.
I didn't look very sensitive and they didn't know me very well.
If you ask me a question, don't tell me what the question is in advance, 'cause I'd rather not know.
I'm a competitive person, but I have never understood people's competitiveness at the expense of their colleagues.
I'd call it a new version of voodoo economics, but I'm afraid that would give witch doctors a bad name.
I don't like to practice ahead of time what I'm going to say.
