"Theres a lot of blowhards in the political process, you know, a lot of hot-air artists, people who have got something fancy to say."

Previous Quote

True power is invisible and impeccable, like good taste. It is never clumsy or artless. Powerful people whisper, suggest, seduce, in order to coerce. They only use volume for effect. This is how you can tell a blowhard from a mogul. ... Most powerful people don't need to coerce; their mere presence is coercive.
