The 'Libertarian' thing was a mistake on my part for saying it, but I am.
I'm never surprised by the insensitivity of 'The New York Times' editorial board.
I was involved as deputy mayor in New York City on 9/11.
Everybody knows I return all of my phone calls. I pick up my cell phone myself, much to the chagrin of my staff.
We've made tremendous strides and changes in the City of New York since 1994.
My favorite is always the book that I'm currently reading.
I was born a limited-government person. I've always had this streak going through me.
Government is to point you in the right direction, and not to do everything for you.
I was born here in the city, born in the Bronx. Son of a cop. One grandfather was a taxi driver; the other was a firefighter. New York is in my DNA.

I was the first one in my family to go to college.
