It showed us a lot about the work that we have put in so we are at a high level.

We need to work through this with the Republican conference first, ... A lot of us have approached leadership and asked them to find a way to have this hearing without jeopardizing Senator Helms' prerogatives and feelings.

It just happened for me. I don't know why. It just came to me. I won eighty thousand dollars after that.

A lot of times people say money changes a lot of people. It hasn't changed me.

I did my work slowly, drop by drop. I tore it out of me by pieces.

I want it real bad. And I'm gonna do whatever it takes for us to get it this year. Nothing else is more important at this point of the year.
