Thanks for doing this man, appreciate it.

No, I appreciate the effort.

What's it like being the mayor of Austin?

You know, it's a real trip.

If you could go back and do it again, would you?

I keep reminding Diane that we volunteered to do this.

Yeah, because there's so many things about it that are spectacular.

But it is also the most frustrating thing I've ever done.

Have you ever done anything in public service before this?

Not in any kind of elected office.

What gave you the motivation to do it?

You know, I was in and around politics, but I worked on some campaigns.

I had a friend who became a state senator and I took some time off helping him set up his office.

I think, you know, really it was, you know, literally the city had been real good to me.

You know, I came here as a pretty poor student passing through town, never left,

stayed here for the music and the breakfast tacos.

You know, 40 years later, I've achieved so many things that I didn't even know existed.
