My interest in economics just basically comes because I think I'm a curious person, and I'm interested in how the world works.
I was intimidated when I started with WWF. I would see all these people I used to watch on TV, and I thought, 'Wow! Look at them.'
I think it's incumbent upon elected officials to make sure that, if we're going to demand more tax money from people, that we use it in a productive manner and not just say, 'This is what we're going to use it for,' and then they find out that it was used for something else and sometimes something very frivolous.
When you ask someone for their vote, you are asking them to place their confidence in you as the steward of the community, so it was humbling that people placed their faith and trust in me.
I personally hate psychiatrists. When I was a kid, I saw quite a few of them, and they ruin everything.
I'll admit, when I look back on the past couple decades, a lot of it seems like a blur.
