Politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.

I believe that a politician needs to be with people.

Politicians are already exaggerated. They're bigger than life in every way - their appetites, their ambitions, their personalities, their failings, their magnetism. In a sense, they're made for fiction.

Politicians have always been required to be fake, but now the career havoc wrought by a stray, flying sound bite means they have to sustain their fakeness all the time.

I have come to believe that we must trust women and families - not politicians - to make the best decisions for their lives.

Politicians shouldn't spend most of their time in office trying to get reelected.

I'm always being realistic.

We need an honest politician in charge who doesn't care whether they are re-elected and is prepared to make the unpopular decisions.

The civilized world needs to think about a decision when single politicians are not allowed to stay in power.
