[John F. Kennedy] was Arthur, the guy in the middle of the room with all the swords pointed at him. ... He wanted control of the situation.
Jean [Kennedy Smith, JFK's sister] told me she thinks the whole sports angle has been overplayed, that politics was central to him. This nonsense that he only went into politics because his older brother Joe was killed is not true. He was determined he was going to be in politics, but he would have waited his turn.
The most incredible thing about Austin is how far been his attitude and work ethic have come. I'm really proud of the way he's taken on the leadership role.
How much he was shaped by being in the hospital so much as a kid. Because he was sick, he was a reader, and because he was a reader, [John F.] Kennedy had heroes. Because he had heroes, he went into politics. (Kennedy liked Sir Walter Scott, King Arthur's knights, and biographies of political leaders.) If he hadn't been sick, he might have been like everybody else in the family, a jock.

I was real nervous at the start, but I feel like I stepped up.

Any team in this district can give anyone else a good game. We're not taking anything for granted. We have to take these games on at a time, and that's what we're doing.
There is absolutely no record ever of Hillary Clinton or anyone in her campaign ever saying that President [Barack] Obama is not legitimate.
We are trying to pick the next president, not review the birth of the current president.
Daniel could challenge for a starting spot on the defense, but all those guys are important because we can make changes and move people around if we have to. This is the fastest team by far that I've ever been involved with. And that's always a good thing.
Anybody can say anything they want. Hillary Clinton can control her own campaign.
There is a big difference between the expenditures of his PAC and his own particular activities.
You know, there were 29 Democratic votes for censure in the Senate. And if the Republicans had any sense, they would have censured him before the '98 midterm election, and they would have won the election.
