It's interesting to play a politician who gets stuff done.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've gotten to believe it's more fun to play politicians than actually be them.
I think what's fascinating is how many people are playing in politics who maybe haven't played before.
I think a politician would be very, very cool to play. Or an American musician of some sort, or like an American pioneer like the Dohenys or the Rockefellers or something.
There might be some serious fun in politics.
Politics is a lot like acting. You have to be on all the time.
My function in life is not to be a politician in Parliament: it is to get something done.
The function of the politician, therefore, is one of continuous watchfulness and activity, and he must have intimate knowledge of details if he would work out grand results.
I'm very happy doing what I'm doing; I don't think I'm prepared to devote my time to politics. When I am, I'd like to give it 100%. I'm not in the frame of mind, and I'm too greedy an actor to do that.
Having been a journalist for almost 20 years and then becoming a politician has definitely been an interesting and enriching experience for me.
I suppose it's easy to play a hypocritical politician with a smiling face; it's also quite gratifying to play.
