Politicians are wonderful people as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, such as working for a living.

I think politicians do great things in the world, but I don't think they're the only ones who can. I don't like all the rhetoric and the finger pointing.

I admire personalities. Some politicians who are only great mice are just persons.

I am not attracted to those politicians who are short on vision and only want to make money. I like those who have vision.

Generally speaking, politicians are an odd bunch. They seem to have very thick skins and genuinely don't care what people think. And charm is a very important part of the politician's armoury. I try to resist that kind of charm.

Politicians are good listeners. Because if they're not, they aren't politicians for very long.

I love this country, I love these people, though I can't say I love their politicians. People are always nicer than politicians, but here, you can mark that difference up a hundredfold.

Any politician in a democracy has to be mindful of public opinion.

Politicians are probably the most underrated people in our society.
