When I was in college, I was always saying I was a socialist.

I grew up in a very liberal place.

I started out being a really, really liberal Democrat.

I am a liberal and always have been - just not the wild-eyed character the Republicans made me out to be.

I guess I'm a socialist at heart.

I'm basically a libertarian, and I'm a conservative on economic matters, and I'm a social liberal.

My father was an ardent socialist for many years.

I am not just a liberal movement. I come from the progressive Left. I am trying to refresh and counter the system.

When I was a sophomore at USC, I was a socialist, pretty much to the left. But not when I left the university. I quickly got wise. I'd read about what had happened to Russia in 1917 when the Communists took over.

I was raised a socialist by two very socialist parents, and I still feel very animated about socialist principles.
