Meet yet another Republican who might want to be your next president: George Pataki.

Not ringing any bells?

Even the former New York governor acknowledged in a recent interview with Newsmax, People dont remember who I am, but we can remind them of that.

Pataki, 69, served as governor of New York from 1995 to 2007, but has since moved to the private sector. Now, he's flirting with a run for the nation's highest office -- the third time he's done so since 2008 -- and he recently launched a super PAC called, We the People, Not Washington.

ABC News recently spoke with Pataki about his potential 2016 run. The questions have been edited and his answers trimmed for length and clarity.

1. I hear that you are seriously considering running for president.

Thats correct.

2. You also considered running in 2008 and 2012. Whats making you think about it again?

I look at what is happening in the country and I look at whats happening in the world, and I think we just have dreadful leadership in Washington. We need to dramatically change the direction of this country and change the leadership in Washington. ... Having led a large state with a very complex government -- a large blue state I might add -- for 12 years and having been able to not just run the state well, but completely change everything from the economic climate to the finances to replacing a culture of dependency with one of opportunity, I believe that I have the ability to not just win an election but to govern this country well and to change its direction.

3. You were a three-term governor. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a fellow Republican and possible 2016 presidential candidate, said he thinks the next Republican presidential nominee should be an outsider -- more specifically, a governor. Do you agree?
