I'm one of those people who never really joined the grown-ups.

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

I didn't grow up in politics.

I don't feel as if I belong to an age group.

My connection was we never want to put ourselves in a position as a nation where we pit group against group.

Growing up a career cop, I was always taught, 'Stay out of politics.' I didn't have any particular allegiance to any particular party.

I was taught that you didn't want to be part of the group - that it was better to do your own thing.

Personally, I can think of no greater privilege than to lead the party I joined when I was just 16.

I don't want to be someone in my sixties holding on to a group that I created when I was in my twenties.

I've never been a member of a political party, but people will superimpose on you what they want.
