I love politics, but I wouldn't want to be involved in it. Too little money, too much work!

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.

It's a hard job to become president.

I have a reputation for being the hardest working person in Congress.

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

The hardest thing to do in politics is campaign as someone you aren't. People can spot an imposter from a mile away.

Look how many millions of people are underemployed or have lost their jobs. The last thing I'm going to do is play politics with their future.

I have never taken a job or done a job where I felt I needed to leave my conscience at the door. One of the the great things about not being in politics as a career is that I can do this job without thinking about my career. I can think about what we're trying to do, what we're trying to accomplish and what we're trying to leave.

Going into politics is something people have asked me about forever.
