Rod Blagojevich

I've got this thing, and it's fucking golden. And, uh, I'm just not giving it up for fucking nothing.

I mean, I've been a pretty good governor. I've been a pretty good public servant.

I'm like a boxer. I'm taking punches, but I'm still standing.

If I had a choice, I'd rather be a rock star, but I'm not. So I'm a public servant.

I'm a public official and I'm proud of what I've done.

I'm working my tail off for the people of Illinois.

I'm not going to be intimidated. I'm not going to be bullied.

I'm a fighter. I've always been a fighter.

I'm innocent. I'm not guilty of any wrongdoing.

I'm trying to do what's right for the people.

I never asked for anything. I never took anything.

I'm a regular guy. I'm not some sophisticated criminal.

I'm just trying to make a living, like everybody else.

I'm fighting for my name. I'm fighting for my family.

I'm going to fight this thing until my dying breath.

I believe in the American justice system, even though it's failed me.

I'm a family man. I love my wife. I love my kids.

I'm just a guy from Chicago who made a few mistakes.

I'm not a quitter. I'm never going to give up.

I'm a public servant, and I take that responsibility seriously.
