1. “I grew up in Detroit, and in a family that we talked about politics of 10 brothers and sisters, so an Irish Catholic. Catholic, I would say. Irish Catholic family in Detroit. There were seven boys in the family. And so in any Irish Catholic sounds, that sounds like a lot of people.”

2. “You then have to discover other ways if that's what you want to do as your mission and calling in life. You have to discover other ways, but it was something that was basically for 35 years what I thought I was going to do as my calling in the campaign.”

3. “Nostalgia is probably a better way to describe it than addiction, as you know, that it took a little while to break through it because so much of my life was every campaign. Every two years there was something or every four years there was something. And it took a while to take step back from it. I do miss a couple aspects of it. I miss the team camaraderie that is built around campaigns. It's unlike anything else that I've been involved in and I've done a lot of consulting and a lot of others. But that team that you have for one common purpose all believing in the same thing together is an amazing thing. And also is it's an aspect that when I first got attracted to politics long, long ago was what could you do to improve the country or the world or your community and all that? And then once you do that.”
