I'm not an activist.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can call myself an activist because I don't really do enough of anything.

I don't necessarily see myself as an activist, running down the street and knocking at every door.

I was not an activist.

Being an activist is about getting things done. It's not about standing around shaking your fist in anger.

I'm not an atheist, but I'm not a Christian, either.

I used to be an atheist, but I've chilled out a bit on that.

I still want to hold on to my beliefs, and as long as I have that, I won't stray too far from politics.

I think being an atheist is something you are, not something you do.

When I was a young man, my mother said to me, 'You can't be a communist without being a militant atheist.' So I had to be a militant atheist because I wanted to be a communist.
