When I first put my hat in the ring, several very tried and true and loyal Democratic activists from our community said, ‘What? She’s not a Democrat. She’s a Republican.’ I took that as a compliment, you know, that people didn’t necessarily know what my ideology might be because I wasn’t driven by that.
Criminals interest me, because they’re driven by the same desires as we are, but they take these disastrous shortcuts and end up in a real mess.

I still managed to screw up plenty in life, mind you, but in the things I really cared about – the legal work, or the stories I was telling as a writer, or the office I built in government – I wasn’t left a lot of margin for error. It’s kept me driven.

Because exploration is not science driven, you’ve got to ask what is it driven by? And it’s driven by politics.
