I don't want to associate myself with any specific group of politicians.

I'm not a politician and don't want any part of politics.

I don't want to be known as a politician.

Often what we do is open our house for various charity events. I don't seat according to protocol. I don't invite people because of who they are in the administration or their positions of power. The few who do come, are there because I like them.

There's a great public disinclination toward politicians.

Personally, I have as little to do with politicians as possible. The ones that I've met I've found very boring. They're extremely egotistical, incredibly self-important. If I can help it, I try to stay as far away from them as possible.

I'm fascinated by politicians, because I suspect the huge majority of them go into it full of ideas and for the best possible reasons but end up being hijacked.

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

Any politician who wants to run for president will come to me in a few years.

I've never met a politician I haven't wanted to walk away from, and I've yet to hear a politician speak and actually believe the words coming out of his mouth.
