I had a prostatectomy in the fall and fortunately it was encapsulated and I didn't have to go through chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy isn't easy. I felt very fortunate I wouldn't have to go through that.

Fortunately, I've always had self-belief.

I think three-to-five years ahead minimum. I have a short-term plan, a five-year plan and a decade plan.

We all obviously need others to look up to, and be inspirational to us. Ford did a great job as far as putting the presidency back where it belonged, getting the trust back after Nixon. And President Reagan has been one of the most influential presidents.

With my Roman Catholic upbringing, I have a set of principles that serve me well in good times and bad.
