I don't find biology as interesting as politics and humanism. I talk more about existential stuff.

I believe that there are certain things that could be taken care of that you don't need a strong political background in.

Politics has high and low moments. Sometimes it brings out the better angels of our nature; sometimes baser instincts.

I believe that politics takes a much different set of skills than science. Science is about getting to the truth. Politics is about what people think and how they react.

I understand that, for some, everything is political.

I'm a politician. I'm not going to get into a whole range of scientific argument with scientists.

Everybody makes personal decisions that are right for them and if you're in political life, you're used to having those analyzed.
