More quotes by Scott Walker
In times of crisis what has made America amazing has been the fact that, throughout our history, throughout the more than 200 years of our history, there have been men and women of courage, who stood up and decided it was more important to look out for the future of their children and their grandchildren than their own political futures.
Scott Walker
I don't want to be a slave to history or facts. As long as I'm getting a good cursory understanding of what it is and I'm not drifting too far away at certain points, then I can play with the idea and take it anywhere I want to.
Scott Walker
The harder part of doing a real story is that there are real people and you have a responsibility to not just go crazy with their lives and have them do things which are not their character, that they then have to live with.
Scott Walker
Now things have changed for the better. Our reforms end seniority and tenure so we can hire and fire based on merit and pay based on performance. That means we can put the best and the brightest in our classrooms - and we can keep them there.
Scott Walker
But Mitt Romney understands, like I understand, that people - not governments - create jobs.
Scott Walker
Collective bargaining isn't a right, it is an expensive entitlement. Once and for all, we are giving the taxpayers a voice in this debate. We put the power back in the hands of the people.
Scott Walker
I have not made any plans for the future, and my wife would kill me if I announced anything before that.
Scott Walker
Well, we’re going to start in a couple weeks with our budget adjustment bill. The first step is we’re going to deal with collective bargaining for all public employee unions, because you use divide and conquer.
Scott Walker
When I'm writing a lyric, I totally forget about the music. I'm just looking at the lyric and thinking about it almost as a separate entity. And then I'll go to my keyboard with all the lyrics printed out and try to think of how to make this a complete musical thing. I've got a very basic keyboard with some presets.
Scott Walker
The unions say 'last hired - first fired,', we say hire and fire based on merit. We want the best and brightest in the classroom.
Scott Walker
My problem with public sector union leaders, the bosses, has been they stood in the way of protecting the taxpayer.
Scott Walker
If I can take on 100,000 protesters, I can do the same across the world.
Scott Walker
The music has to be as interesting. It has to keep taking you into places that you're at least not used to.
Scott Walker
Political leaders in Illinois kicked the can down the road, raised taxes, and ignored fiscal realities. Now, they're realizing the consequences of their actions: credit downgrades and negative outlooks.
Scott Walker
Governors should be defined not just by what they do and say, but who they surround themselves with.
Scott Walker
It all starts from the lyric with me. If I work really hard on the lyric and get it right, then it will tell me whatever else to do, where to go.
Scott Walker
There could not be a more stark contrast between Wisconsin and Illinois.
Scott Walker
I have unbelievable support among Republicans.
Scott Walker
Washington, or as I like to call it, 68 square miles surrounded by reality.
Scott Walker
You have phantom income each year. No money is being put in your pocket, but you have to take some money out of your pocket to pay Uncle Sam because the tax is paid based on accretion.
