I never got into politics for it to be a career.
I thought I'd grow up to be a teacher, or maybe run for political office.

Politics is not my life. I have a career in radio and another career in film.
I had no intention of entering politics, but then the force of events led me to become involved in politics.

I wanted to have a political career. I thought studying political science would be the best way to achieve it.
