There are good people in the lobbying industry. Lobbyists can serve a very useful purpose.

Sometimes it's the crazy people who turn out to be not so crazy.

I have had lobbyists, and I have had some very good ones. They could do anything.

It's always the big question in our lives if you have a lot of success. What do you do with it? Buy more houses, buy more cars, buy more stuff, be wealthy and distant and unengaged? Or do you take all that good fortune that has come towards you and spread the love, do something with it?

I have a very, very good memory, and I always remember the people who have done right by me and the people who have done wrong by me.

You can almost hear people saying, 'We're going to make a movie about an election' and 'We're going to make a movie about a lobbyist.' You can hear the yawning start across the nation.
