If you're smart enough to go to college, you should be smart and creative enough to pay for it.

If I were an innocent individual, flown to a foreign country and held for several years and tortured, I'd become a terrorist, too. I'd go to war against the U.S.

You need to hunt something that can shoot back at you to really classify yourself as a hunter. You need to understand the feeling of what it's like to go into the field and know your opposition can take you out.
Jesse Ventura -
A crime is a crime, regardless of what collar you wear.

I think that when Americans go to vote, states should not list what party the candidates are affiliated with. That would require voters to actually think and get to know a candidate instead of voting for their favorite gang. 'Oh, this guy is a Republican, so he must be good.'
Jesse Ventura -
I started stating that maybe I should run for governor. Well, it caught on like wildfire. I felt I'd boxed myself into a corner-if I didn't attempt to do this, I would lose my credibility. And in the world of talk radio, once that happens, you're finished.

Politics is not my life. I have a career in radio and another career in film.

Our military doesn't defend our American people. Our military is the strong-arm muscle of corporations.

I believe that the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin are two of the greatest rock bands ever!

In my era of wrestling, there were no guaranteed contracts, so it was inherent that you draw the crowd in to make money.

I live in Mexico in the wintertime, and I live off the grid down there.

Government has no place telling you who to fall in love with and who to marry.
Jesse Ventura -
Remember that government doesn't earn one single dollar it spends. In order for you to get money from the government, that money must first be taken from somebody else.
Jesse Ventura -
The Constitution guarantees us our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That's all. It doesn't guarantee our rights to charity.

There's hardly a more effective way to solve the problems we face in our educational system than to reduce class size. A ratio of no more than 17 students per teacher ensures more 1-on-1 contact, better classroom discipline, you name it.
Jesse Ventura -
What do we have for veterans? Government-run health care. I understand that. Congressmen and senators... they get five choices of government-run health care. Why should a congressman and senator get anything more than a regular citizen does? Why are they privileged and the rest of us aren't?

If I can get on the presidential ballot in all 50 states and be allowed into the debates, I'd not only run, I'd win.

In February 2003, I signed a three-year contract with MSNBC to host a talk show. Having recently decided not to run again for governor of Minnesota, I was still a pretty hot commodity. The show was originally scheduled for an hour, four nights a week.

I'm saying 9/11 was to get us into Iraq and get us into Afghanistan.
Jesse Ventura -
I speak my mind. If it offends some people, well, there's not much I can do about that. But I'm going to be honest. I'm going to continue to speak my mind, and that's who I am.

I was a few months out of office when the invasion of Iraq took place in March 2003. Had I still been governor, I might have been the only one who opposed it. It had to do with the fact that we were lining up our military against that country as an aggressor and an occupier.
Jesse Ventura -
If you work for the federal government, the average salary is $7,000 higher than the private sector. Something's wrong with that, when you're making more money working for the government than you can working in the private sector.
Jesse Ventura -
When the Constitution gave us the right to bear arms, it also made us responsible for using them properly. It's not fair of us as citizens to lean more heavily on one side of that equation than on the other.

If I could be reincarnated as a fabric, I would come back as a 38 double-D bra.
