It's interesting to play a politician who gets stuff done.

I suppose it's easy to play a hypocritical politician with a smiling face; it's also quite gratifying to play.

There might be some serious fun in politics.

I may have come into politics with an unacknowledged condescension toward the game and the people who played it, but I left with more respect for politicians than when I went in. The worst of them - the careerists and predators - you find in all professions. The best of them were a credit to democracy.

In politics, it's more fun to win than it is to lose.

I think what's fascinating is how many people are playing in politics who maybe haven't played before.

I'm a politician, and as you know, politicians are rarely very funny.

Politicians are actors, too, don't you think? Usually, if you like people and you're outgoing, not a shy little thing, you can do pretty well in politics.

I have more fun hanging out with my friends who are musicians and rock stars. You know politicians by and large are pretty stiff, pretty rehearsed.

Political audiences are not fun.
