The personal is political, but only to a point.

You have to keep a strong sense of who you really are - and I have a pretty strong sense of myself. It gets me in trouble when I say this, but I don't think of myself as a politician. I've always tried to be honest when communicating with people.

For decades, my identity was political, but I've come to understand that there's no political solution when you're dealing with someone else's rules.

I keep my political views to myself.

I realize it's probably best to keep my politics to myself.

I mean, the last thing I want to do is be involved in politics.

Politics is a rough and tumble business. It's not for the faint-hearted. I've got bruises and cuts from being in the political arena. But by and large, I understand how to navigate the process.
