“Somebody said, 'You may be a committee chair.' I don't think so. I don...” — Angus King Quote

Somebody said, 'You may be a committee chair.' I don't think so. I don't think anybody would want me that much.

My view of the filibuster is either you've got to lower vote edge or make people really filibuster if they feel that seriously about a piece of legislation.

It's hard running as an independent. I wouldn't have won the Senate election if I hadn't been governor. I had credibility. The hard part is getting voters to the point where they think it's thinkable and not a waste of time.

If it's necessary to join a caucus and get a committee assignment, I'll do it.

I've come to realize that an unencumbered U.S. senator is a profound threat to the whole system. It's somebody that they can't put in a box and say, 'Oh, well, we know how this guy is going to vote.'

In the head of the moment after losing a game, I lost the control of my emotions and hit the ball with an intention of hitting out of the court. Unfortunately and absolutely unintentionally I hit Mr. Arnaud Gabas, the chair umpire.

If it's the right chair, it doesn't take too long to get comfortable in it.

It is ridiculous to say that Sacco and Vanzetti are being railroaded to the chair. The situation is much worse than that. This is a thing done cold-bloodedly and with deliberation. But care and deliberation do not guarantee justice.

Haven't you felt a peculiar sort of worry about the chair in your living room that no one sits in?
