We don't want the federal government to shut down. It is so inappropriate, and it is not respectful of the people that have sent us here to do our jobs.

We have to defeat ISIS. We have to make certain that we destroy them and that we push them back.

I've always said that I didn't want to be given a job because I was a female, I wanted it because I was the most well-qualified person for the job. And making certain that companies are going to move forward in that vein, that is what women want.

Net Neutrality originally referred to management of the 'last mile' of the network over which data flows into a person's home, but the debate has grown beyond that in recent years.

I fear that light touch regulations that have allowed the Internet to prosper will now be replaced by a heavy hand that stifles innovation and does not adapt well to change. The Internet is not broken.

My legislation provides that Net Neutrality rules would have 'no force or effect' and prohibits similar rules from being published or re-issued.

We are for abiding by the Constitution and recognize that Article I, Section 8, Clause 4 enumerates the power of establishing 'an uniform process of naturalization' to the Congress.

If a president can enforce a part of a law and delay a part of a law, then does he have a power to not enforce any law he so chooses? If he can allow illegal aliens to freely run across our border, can he force legal citizens out of the country? Where would be the end of his power?

You might have noticed Harry Reid is a little upset with Americans for Prosperity. Let me tell you, when the Democrat leader is complaining about you on the Senate floor, you know you are doing something right.

Women are running companies, serving as the human resource director of companies, and helping employees solve problems. Women are doctors, lawyers, teachers, sales managers, marketers. They handle problems in the workplace by day and manage their families by night.

Serving as President of the United States is a privilege that is afforded to few in our country.

Many women are heads of households. Many are the primary wage earners for their families.

If the expansion of a global legal regime for communication technologies gains traction, the effects to the global economy as well as our individual liberties will be severe.

Countries like Iran and China support an Internet Iron Curtain that would censor political dissidents and deny anonymous activity online through mandatory registrations of IP addresses.

Because America leads the world by example, it's no surprise that some might seek to imitate our domestic rules and regulations on a global scale.

FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell has said that several foreign dignitaries personally spoke to him about creating a new Internet user fee to subsidize an international universal service fund at the expense of traditional end users.

There's an inverse relationship between the size and scope of government and the health of our free-market economy.

An overly expansive virtual 'toll' for the Internet that blocks consumers' and competitors' access to the e-commerce superhighway is not the right answer.

Great Britain has long been one of our strongest friends in the free world.

The British health care system is a blueprint for the failure of Obamacare, as it is structured.

While all Republicans acknowledge that there were mistakes made during the Bush Administration, again the continuous pointing a finger at President Bush has gotten tiresome.

The Obama Administration continues to talk about the 'policies of the past' and insist that a return to those policies will lead to disaster.

We know that working with small businesses to create jobs will do more to help our economy than anything the Obama Administration has tried to do.

One of the most important tasks of the United States House of Representatives is to pass a budget resolution.

The Budget Act of 1974 established a timetable for the annual budget process. Under Title III of the Act, Congress is to complete action on the concurrent resolution on the budget by April 15.

While the budget resolution is a nonbinding blueprint, it is, nevertheless, an important guideline for Congress. Once the President's proposed budget is received by Congress on the first Monday of February, Congress generally goes to work on appropriating the funds required.

Politicians like to confuse congressional spending with earmarks. There is a difference.

I firmly believe that the most important feature of spending the people's money is complete transparency.

Dr. Seuss said, 'No one can be you-er than you,' and Oscar Wilde said, 'Be yourself because everyone else is taken.' So I just try to continue to be who I am and don't change that. And I'm a little chameleon, so I can fit in wherever I am.

I like art, photography, film - all that creativity.

Any time you're in a maze there's multiple ways to get to the end.

If I die and you remember me as an athlete, I failed at life.

Nothing good happens after 11. If you can't get a date before 11 o'clock, you need to go home and you need to work on yourself.

I only read the left-hand pages, so I finish books twice as fast.

Shaq and Muhammad Ali's my favorite two athletes of all time.

If you play sports, use sports. So many of our kids get used by the game and then get nothing out of it. Use it as a tool to open up other doors that you want to open in life.

I don't club, I don't really go out, and there's a lot of stuff I don't really do socially.

If I'm not with my family or playing football then I'm usually in my office writing and drawing.

Why does everyone always assume the quarterback is the leader?

I don't always answer bird calls, but, when I do, they're from Tom Brady and Gronk.

I'm not a guy who holds up a product and says, 'Drink this.'

Dreams come true, but dreams don't wait for you. You have to chase your dreams.

First and foremost, I am a husband and a father, which is a full-time job.

I'm not building gyms. I'm not interested in building football fields or doing football camps. I'm interested in doing film camps and coding camps.

I love to read because I know that for a long time ancestors weren't allowed to. I love to write. Because for a long time my people weren't 'allowed' to. So I'm going to write my books, my apps and tell my stories.

I recognized from a young age that I wasn't a football player; I played football.

My mind is like a theme park, because it's fun and there's lots of cool stuff and you can take rides.

I don't want to inspire the next generation of tight ends or linebackers to play the game. If I could inspire the next generation of architects and technology leaders and writers and illustrators and film directors, then I feel like I have fulfilled my life purpose.

There aren't many children's books about black characters that are just going on adventures. My library has over 2,000 children's books in it, and most of the protagonists are either white or creatures.

I'd never worked for anyone else until I got to the NFL, and this will be my last time working for someone else.
