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 follow politics, but I don't like to discuss it.

I doubt that I will get involved with politics. That's something I don't have in me.

You can't just talk politics all the time - it's boring.

I'm used to politics at an international level: people put together an argument and, even if you vehemently disagree with them, well, you can recognise it's an argument and respond.

I am perfectly capable of writing things about myself that one doesn't discuss in polite company, but I was raised by people who said you don't discuss politics, you don't discuss religion, and you certainly don't discuss people's sex lives.

Throughout my political life, I've not been a stranger to controversy.

In so much of politics you're not allowed to disagree with what's been agreed.

I cannot do politics under someone else's control.

You can't ignore politics, no matter how much you'd like to.
