Quote

Politics is tricky for me. For most of my life, I didn't think it applied to me.

But I'm not interested in politics. I lose interest the microsecond it ceases to be emotional, when something becomes a political movement. What I'm interested in is emotions.

I'm not a big fan of identity politics and sort of picking one thing and defining yourself with it.

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

Throughout my political life, I've not been a stranger to controversy.

I'm not a fan of identity politics.

I went into politics on an emotional level and soon realised that emotion has nothing to do with politics.

Politics is not really my thing.

Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you.

But I think it's quite clear in my work that my orientation isn't political or doesn't come out of modern politics.
