I've been in a lot of elections.

I've been really at the highest levels of American political life.

Living in America, I became aware of many issues and went through a period of politicization.

I entered politics from a completely different background from other people in this field, and that has helped me to see and deal with things differently.

After many, many years, I fell out of love with politics. It's not something I like but it's the truth.

My family is really into politics.

I got into politics a little bit by chance, as a person from the first generation of the Solidarity movement.

Well, I've been politically involved for a really long time. Growing up in the segregated South, it was a very painful experience for me to live through the open racism of the time.

I came to politics later in life so I bring a different life experience to it.
