This is really sort of a giant experiment. Do we want to put our children at risk? Why would we do a thing like? It makes no sense whatsoever.

I realized that there are a lot of people who came before me. And if they all took the easy road and the relaxing road, we wouldn't have the country that we have today.

I am still trying to change that because everything we do should be based on evidence, not on ideology.

Eighty percent of the regulations are local in nature and many of them are archaic.

We very much want private mortgage insurers to become a significant part, particularly after the GSEs exit conservatorship.

We want to make sure that obvious cases of discrimination can still be addressed appropriately.

I think it is obviously very important if we want to be able to have things that are sustained across the Administration that help the American people.

If we are not going to be a nation of laws, what happens if we say, 'We can ignore this one, we don't like this one, but this one we will do.' Where does that lead in the long run? To nothing but chaos.

using a computer to limit a person's housing choices can be just as discriminatory as slamming a door in someone's face.

It doesn't matter how you grew up, if you work hard enough, you will succeed.

Homelessness is a problem that, I think, we have the ability to obliterate in our lifetime.
