I'm not a fan of identity politics.

For decades, my identity was political, but I've come to understand that there's no political solution when you're dealing with someone else's rules.

Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.

I think I passed up a lot of opportunities for love because I was too interested in identity politics.

I am different than some people would like me to be. I just don't buy into that the personal can be political.

I've realized that it's important to stop trying to think I'm any one thing. People are confused as to their identity and try to cling to one aspect of that identity to describe what they are: American, Republican, Muslim. These are really incomplete.

Fighting for identity is something that is very much in my life.

There's no such thing as identity: it's something we have to believe in to make life more tolerable.

I have run across characters in my political career that have that singular focus of being someone, being in a position of power.

I don't talk about my politics. I am registered as an independent.
