Political scientists after World War II hypothesized that even though the voices of individual Americans counted for little, most people belonged to a variety of interest groups and membership organizations - clubs, associations, political parties, unions - to which politicians were responsive.

Large audiences did not suit my low-key approach.

The weakness that our campaign and that I had is we weren't effective in taking my message primarily to minority voters.

A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls.

When I'm in the U.K. - and I'm here more than people would think - I tend to keep a very low profile.

You can certainly keep a low public profile if you want to.

I think there's a far more general audience now because I've done more populist stuff on telly.

A lot of my traditional audience does not appreciate my foray into politics.

The kind of audience I'm speaking to is a very wide range of people.

It's important to be honest and truthful with your constituents. At the end of the day, we represent them.
