On the election

I wouldn't allow myself to think I would win, because the letdown would have been too great . . . it's a case of the politicians' being a bit pompous and arrogant and underestimating the voters. Minnesotans know Minnesotans. You can't take lessons to talk Fargo.

On dignity

I'll do some fun things, but I don't want to cheapen the office. It's a very dignified honor. I'm not about to turn it into some dog-and-pony show. I'm an honorable person.

On governing

I can bring the parties together. I don't care where the bill comes from. It won't matter. If it's good for Minnesota, I'll sign it, and if not, I'll veto . . . As I tell people, there are more Minnesotans than Republicans or Democrats.
