Quote

Well, I was always a bit of a political junkie. Even as a kid I would read biographies of presidents and of civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King and Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington.

I don't know much about politics, and I don't want to know. That's why I rarely involve myself in politics.

I spend time in the classroom. I think more of them aren't political science than are political science. I particularly like talking to journalism students.

I've had an interest in politics since I was a little kid.

I have some very personal feelings about politics, but I don't get into it because I do comedy already.

I'm an actor who plays an intriguing character, not a political pundit.

I entered politics from a completely different background from other people in this field, and that has helped me to see and deal with things differently.

I'm not very big on politics. I'm a comedian and not that smart. I don't have the mind capacity for it.

I don't intend to simply go away and write my plays and be a good boy. I intend to remain an independent and political intelligence in my own right.

Politics is not a game for naive thinkers. You may go in as an idealist, but you certainly won't come out as one.
