Quote

I have been a practitioner of tough politics for many decades. There is little that amazes me and even less that shocks me.

I'm not into sports, and politics is kind of my sport. I love talking about it and debating it and getting into it. I also think people on both sides of the aisle have real exaggerated, incorrect views of the other side, and that is fascinating to me.

Politics is about winning. If you don't win, you don't get to put your principles into practice. Therefore, find a way to win, or sit the battle out.

I used to love politics. I can't say I do any more. All the fun has gone out of it. Each side is engaged in this trench warfare of managerialism. They're all too scared to say anything that might make them appear something other than completely bland.

What I've certainly learned is that whenever I've said anything about real politics, I've come under attack. So it's best simply to play politics on television.

I don't want to be a politician. I don't like politics. It's petty; it fights dirty.

Politics are close to me, but there are different ways of participating in politics.

There is a circus around politics. But if you think it is a game, then you forget what the purpose of politics actually is.

I don't even know what the issues are. I haven't paid attention to politics in a long time. It's actually not something that I really even enjoy. It's way off my radar.

I am a sportsman, and I hate politics.
