Quote

Idealism is the despot of thought, just as politics is the despot of will.

I'm not a great deep political thinker.

I'm not a policy wonk, and I don't dream of being a political operative.

I'm not very big on politics. I'm a comedian and not that smart. I don't have the mind capacity for it.

I am not a political thinker. I'm not even much of a thinker. I'm a hack novelist.

I am not averse to politics, but that does not mean that I am going to join politics.

Too often people view idealists as naive.

I have always said I will be in politics to serve as best as I can and it will take me wherever it will take me.

I'm an idealist.

You can't be in politics unless you can walk in a room and know in a minute who's for you and who's against you.
