“There’s an old saying in politics: anyone dumb enough to run for the job probably is too stupid to have it.”

“I'm in politics because I want to be the prime minister some day. At 41, I'm old enough to run the country, though young enough to wait.”

“The game has a cleanness. If you do a good job, the numbers say so. You don't have to ask anyone or play politics. You don't have to wait for the reviews.”

“The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old to learn.”

“Anyone who says that women do not have influence in men's decisions makes a vast and stupid mistake.”

“Once I pulled a job, I was so stupid. I picked a guy's pocket on an airplane and made a run for it.”

“But probably that's the way of the world - when we have finally learned something we're too old to apply it - and so it goes, wave after wave, generation after generation. No one learns anything at all from anyone else.”

“Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run”

“Anyone who isn't embarrassed of who they were last year probably isn't learning enough.”

“Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.”
