I can't write things. I'm embarrassed all the time about that, particularly if people don't know that about me.

I have to tell you, I'll be right up front about it: I'm the governor of the state of Connecticut, and I can't write anything well.

Whenever people say, 'You should be president,' I say, 'I thought you liked me.' Listen, I thought being mayor of Stamford was a wonderful job. Being governor of a state for a period of time is a wonderful job, and I'm not sure I'm at all attracted to Washington.

You know and I know and economists know that trickle-down economics doesn't work.

I don't mind the rich getting richer, but the poor shouldn't be getting poorer, and there should be more people moving into the middle class.

You can't separate me from my upbringing as a child overcoming learning disabilities and having to make my way through that.
