I keep my political views to myself.

I'm a very individualistic person. That is why I don't belong to any political party or anything. I really believe in justice and freedom.

I believe that I'm entitled to regard my pre-political life as off-limits in terms of what can be looked at and judged.

I do struggle with how much and in which way, as an artist or celebrity, that you voice your political views.

I treat politics kind of like my religion. It's something I believe in, but I don't want to have to make a living at it, because if you make a living at it, you somehow become dishonest.

While I hold my own political views, it's important not to get too wrapped up in individual candidates and personalities, but instead to focus on the real issues.

Of course, my own political beliefs inform the ideas I come up with.

There isn't much political coloration in my economic writing; it's not surprising that few people know my political views. They really aren't very important.

In politics, the people I most despise are those who have no values.

The values that I have are the values I was raised with, from where I'm from, which is a middle-class place. So that informs everything about me, my politics and all that stuff. I mean, politically, I vote against my own self-interest at every election. I actively ask these people to raise my taxes.
