To me, politics is an extension of what I do in medicine.

I'm so glad I didn't become a doctor, because I do more than any doctor can do. I am an administrator, a CEO, doctor, psychiatrist, an activist, a campaign funder. I think I did well.

I had the privilege of practicing medicine in the early '60s, before we had any government. It worked rather well, and there was nobody on the street suffering with no medical care.

I used to do some philanthropic work, but with the political platform, I can contribute in a bigger way.

Be your own politics, grow your own garden, and maybe you can help out more.

I'm not a politician. I only want to help relieve the suffering in communities, and I want to help people see their community in each other.

I am not a politician. I am not in politics. I'm just a citizen.

My passion for strengthening the community and making peoples' lives better is stronger now than when I first got into politics.

I'm a politician. I run for office. That's my profession.
