“Our volunteer fire departments know their needs better than Washington...” — Mike Ross Quote

“Our volunteer fire departments know their needs better than Washington, D.C. They need more flexibility on spending grant money from FEMA and Homeland Security.”

“Redistricting and a broken, polarized Congress have made it tough to be a moderate in Congress.”

“I think more so than the Republican Party, we reflect America on the Democratic side of the aisle, and that's a healthy thing. I mean, that's what democracy is all about.”

“I have to say, for a while, it was very difficult to listen to anything that Michael's voice was on. That's pretty tough to escape. Everywhere you go - food markets, departments stores, TV and radio - they are playing his music.”

“I noticed that, on 'Spooks,' there were a lot of women behind the camera and in different departments.”

“I was just lucky enough to grow up in a time when they actually had drama departments in schools.”
