I wanted to have a political career. I thought studying political science would be the best way to achieve it.

If you are really interested in making government work, you should have the experience of working in government.

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.

One thing that education can do is it can provide us with an opportunity to understand one another better, and so while I've spent a lot of my time in the world of politics, I've always felt that it is really not politics that will solve this for us.

I think I do want to go into politics. I really, really do. And I don't know if I will.

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

I felt that politics was one place where I could possibly have a career in arguing, debating, and getting to write papers. I almost considered working in law enforcement or something like that, but that didn't really last long.

I learnt a lot in government, and I've learnt a lot since leaving government. The kind of journey of being in government is that you start at your most popular and least capable, and you end at your most capable and least popular.

I have always been interested in politics. I was in the student union before, very active.

Politics is not my cup of tea. I would like to focus on research and education, and will also work to help start-up ecosystem.
