I've taught a college journalism course at two universities where my students taught me more than I did them about how political news is consumed.

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

In my brief sojourn in college, my favorite classes were political science because I loved the idea of systems we can set up that benefit society - rules we can put in place that sometimes you run against, sometimes they're painful, but ultimately they benefit the world.

I believe that politics takes a much different set of skills than science. Science is about getting to the truth. Politics is about what people think and how they react.

I watch sports and cable news. I'm a political junkie, so that's my interest.

I've had an interest in politics since I was a little kid.

I felt that politics was one place where I could possibly have a career in arguing, debating, and getting to write papers. I almost considered working in law enforcement or something like that, but that didn't really last long.

I'm not deeply involved in politics, but about 25% of the people I interact with in politics went to law school.

I have always been interested in politics. I was in the student union before, very active.

I'm not really a political satirist. I don't kid myself. I'm more interested in doing the mannerisms and the personality.
