When you start to think about politicians, you've got to realize these are strange creatures. Other than the fact that they can't tell directions, and they have very strange breeding habits, how do you actually work with these things?
The function of the politician, therefore, is one of continuous watchfulness and activity, and he must have intimate knowledge of details if he would work out grand results.
I've been dealing with politicians all my life. All my life. And I've always gotten them to do what I need them to do.
It's interesting to play a politician who gets stuff done.
I can't get inside the head of a politician today.
I don't do politics. I just like to laugh.
To me, a politician's job is to listen to constituents' problems and try to sort them out.
I haven't been in politics too long so that's a good thing.
He knows nothing and thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career.
