People can make any political calculation they want. I make decisions what I think is in the best interest.

I just operate on the assumption that all phone conversations are bugged.

I've done business with people I've met in politics, who I went to law school with, who I grew up with. Who do you do business with? People you meet in life.

You help me, I'll help you. That's politics.

I've got to have 25 balls in the air at the same time.

I've signed thousands of documents, but never read them.

You need money to get out your message.

People like to do politics with me, and they like to do business.

I think sometimes Richmond, especially the House of Delegates, thinks too small... Richmond is not doing what needs to be done, forward thinking, big bold ideas.

People ought to quit talking to the press.

One-third of Americans have already been forced to change their lifestyle because their disposable income is gone. A guy can't go to the corner bar after a rough day at work to have a beer, that's gone to oil!

I have big ideas. If you don't like them, don't vote for me.

I've always been an entrepreneur, but it's never been about the money. I like a challenge, the harder the better.

I've gone to China, bought a manufacturing company and moved it to America. Now China wants to buy back some of that new technology from me. That's a great story for America.

Everybody in this public arena makes statements and gets interpreted different ways.

It is the Democrats who get the economic engine of this economy moving forward again.

When I decide to do something, I do it.

As governor, I don't want my fair share. I want more than my fair share.

I've been called a lot of things.

People pigeonhole me - I'm known for raising more money than any man alive.

I want a president who will build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top. A president who tackles global warming head-on and stands up for common sense solutions that keep guns away from dangerous people.

I've had many conversations with the Clinton family. We're friends. It's hard, very tough. I think on Election Day, everybody felt pretty good. I think the Trump campaign thought they were gonna lose.

There are too many guns in the hands of people that shouldn't have guns. There is too much gun violence in America.

Restoring the rights of individuals who have served their time and reentered society is the right thing to do. Virginia's felon disenfranchisement policy is rooted in a tragic history of voter suppression and marginalization of minorities, and it needs to be overturned.

When I ran for governor, I talked about the disenfranchisement of voters. I talked about the history that we've had. We've had a horrible history here in Virginia going back to 1901 - the poll tax, literacy tests, disenfranchisement of felons. We're one of the worst four states in America on allowing people back in with voting rights.

What the voters want to know is who is going to get out there, fight for them, and deal with the income gap that exists in the nation today.

Until we actually have people going out and voting, don't ever count anybody out.

I always like to say, Bill Clinton created more millionaires and billionaires than any president, but you know what, more people moved out of poverty. Middle-class income - all-time high.

I'm good at sales. I enjoy it.

People say, 'In Washington, things can't get done.' We at the state level have to get it done. We don't have filibusters and kicking the can down the road - we don't have that luxury. We've gotta act, and we've got to keep our citizens safe. We've got to grow our economies and provide education and a transportation system that's efficient.
