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

I have just been the man in the middle, trying to make sure that we steer the right course.

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

If you're nice, if you like yourself, if you treat other people well, you're going to be successful. I guarantee it.
