Once you're in the game and it's a part of your life, you never want to leave it. But you have to be committed to be able to travel and do the things you need to do to be successful in whatever role you're doing.

I travel all over the country making speeches for people I believe in.

The need for this clinic is clear to me, to the veterans who are currently forced to travel hours to receive care, and even to the Veterans Administration that itself identified creation of a clinic in this part of our state as a priority to be completed by 2006.

I wanted to have the opportunity to travel to Vietnam and Sydney, and have the chance to work there.

The fact that people will pay you to talk to people and travel to interesting places and write about what intrigues you, I am just amazed by that.
