I have a temperament that doesn't adapt well to politics. It's because I speak my mind so much.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You have to keep a strong sense of who you really are - and I have a pretty strong sense of myself. It gets me in trouble when I say this, but I don't think of myself as a politician. I've always tried to be honest when communicating with people.
I don't think I have the demeanor to be a politician. I'm used to making decisions and to a certain extent being in charge.
I'm not very big on politics. I'm a comedian and not that smart. I don't have the mind capacity for it.
Politics is a lot of serendipity. You're in the right place and the right time and you've got the right message, and it either connects for you or, or it doesn't.
You can't be in politics unless you can walk in a room and know in a minute who's for you and who's against you.
I have a bad reputation for being temperamental.
An excessive amount of my time is taken with political involvement. It's unavoidable; that's my temperament.
I've been in politics now for long enough to not worry about what others are saying, but instead to talk about what I believe.
I have the sort of temperament where I try not to over think things, I don't get flustered and I don't panic. I'm not overly neurotic.
I have been a practitioner of tough politics for many decades. There is little that amazes me and even less that shocks me.
