But you've got to make choices, and you're not going to be right all the time.

I was a stubborn cuss, and I made some mistakes.

I made lots of talks and challenged lots of people.

Nixon was kind of a loner, he had a cold personality.

While he was president, it was popular to be a Nixon hater.

The difference was you worked for Nixon, and with Ford.

Teaching was the most pleasant thing I did.

Sometimes my quotes may be too colorful.

No, I try not to be a negative thinker.

I understood public relations and always maintained a high profile.

I challenged things that needed to be challenged at Purdue.

Ford was warm and friendly. He wouldn't embarrass a Cabinet member.
