J. C. Watts

Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught.

In addition, there is one title I cherish a great deal more than Congressman and that is the title of... Dad.

I'm secure in who I am. I don't need the validation of those that would say, you have to be a certain thing in order to be accepted. I'm comfortable going against the grain if I need to.

I'm quite content to spend my life helping young people find themselves. I've had my fill of politics.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.
