Well, I KNOW I worked for Governor Rockefeller the LAST time he RAN for his fourth term, and I obviously ran against Governor Cuomo the time he ran for his fourth term.

I'm THINKING about governing as the GOVERNOR of this STATE, and that's what I'm GOING to do.

I don't know that we do. I had thought ours worked well, but I had NEVER examined it too closely. A LOT of media PEOPLE will be looking for a case that MIGHT make Texas Governor George Bush THINK twice about what he's doing.

You KNOW my FATHER as GOVERNOR, as president, but I knew him as DAD. I was so proud to have the Reagan NAME and to be Ronald Reagan's son.

When I'm GOVERNOR... I'll be the FIRST governor with a listed TELEPHONE NUMBER.

The Office of Attorney General should be independent and the Office of Attorney General should have the power to INVESTIGATE without the approval of the governor of the state of NEW YORK. It's ABSOLUTELY critically important.

The strike of the MINERS in Arizona was one of the most remarkable strikes in the HISTORY of the American labor MOVEMENT. Its peaceful CHARACTER, its successful outcome, were due to that most remarkable character, Governor Hunt.

There are TIMES when EVEN the most POTENT governor must wink at transgression, in order to PRESERVE the laws inviolate for the FUTURE.

I REALLY LOVE being GOVERNOR. I've been EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL.

I decided to RUN for GOVERNOR because I GOT mad... I want to make government more DIRECTLY accountable to the people.

I don't want to spend the REST of my LIFE in politics. When I'm FINISHED with my TERM as governor, I'm going back to the life that's waiting for me in the PRIVATE sector.

My FOUR YEARS as GOVERNOR, I NEVER met with a lobbyist once, never. Not one lobbyist got in my office.

When I RAN for GOVERNOR of MINNESOTA, I only RAISED $300,000.

I don't have to muzzle myself when I'm a CIVILIAN. When you're a governor, you KIND of have to do it, because you represent the WHOLE state. You have to leave your personal OPINIONS to yourself a lot. I learned that.

I've MADE more cuts than any GOVERNOR has EVER made.
