You know, I really loved the experience of politics. I was a door-to-door guy, Joe. I didn't have any money in the beginning because nobody gives you money when you first start. And so I just went door-to-door like eight, nine hours a day. My dad would take me. My dad's 75 now, but he was 70 and he would take me.

You know what? You look a little too dangerous. I got really good at reading somebody when they came to the door, how quickly I could be, how much time I could take.

And so I'm at this kind of interesting crossroads where I don't really know what I'm going to do next.

You know what I find most interesting, and Nancy exonerates this, is the lack of bitterness is pretty amazing in some of these exonerees. You're dealing with somebody that did 15 years for a crime, not only that she didn't commit, but that no crime occurred. And she's still not bitter. And they still fight her at every moment.
