Politicians are wonderful people as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, such as working for a living.

Unlike the general public, I rather like most politicians.

I rarely meet a politician that I don't like personally. They are generally well endowed with charm. Therein lies the danger.

Generally speaking, politicians are an odd bunch. They seem to have very thick skins and genuinely don't care what people think. And charm is a very important part of the politician's armoury. I try to resist that kind of charm.

I think politicians do great things in the world, but I don't think they're the only ones who can. I don't like all the rhetoric and the finger pointing.

I admire politicians. It is a really tough assignment, and I would fall at the first fence.

I'm only sort of a politician.

I've had great pleasure meeting the likes of Newt Gingrich and having a chat with the fellow on a staircase. I found him completely dishonest and totally likeable, because he doesn't care! He knows what a politician is, and he's a perfect embodiment of one.

All this is only for the mice and myself to admire!
