But 'This Town' is official Washington. It's political Washington. It's not the Washington that clogs New York Avenue. It's not the Washington that lives in Gaithersburg.

I don't believe in talking about my work. I let it speak for itself. I'd rather make money than just talk about my business. People think that because I don't talk much to the media, I am arrogant. I am not arrogant, but I do have an attitude.
I think people get so frustrated with Washington, D.C.That's why they're so angry with the - the electorate is so angry with everybody who is involved in government in Washington, D.C.
