No matter the nationality, no matter the religion, no matter the ethnic background, America brings out the best in people.

What makes Maria so tough is the way she plays, the way she competes. The best part about Maria is her focus. But not to be reacting when somebody's down on the ground, not to even move from the back of the baseline, somehow you've got to shift out of that mode. That's when her focus can look very unattractive.

We are a forward-looking people, and we must have a forward-looking government.

Government's first duty and highest obligation is public safety.
