My political beliefs are my moral, quasi-religious framework.

I treat politics kind of like my religion. It's something I believe in, but I don't want to have to make a living at it, because if you make a living at it, you somehow become dishonest.

I've been in politics now for long enough to not worry about what others are saying, but instead to talk about what I believe.

I keep my political views to myself.

Normally, I stay away from politics - unless I'm going to run for president.

I can easily hold two opposing beliefs at the same time without any problem, which I find - well, mind-expanding, really.

I wish I could renounce politics.

I stay out of politics because if I begin thinking too much about politics, I'll probably... drop writing children's books and become a political cartoonist again.
