There is this concept of politics as a dirty game. It's a difficult game, but it doesn't have to be dirty. I think this is what we need to bring to politics. I think politics around the world has very often been captured by big interests - 'lobbies' they call them in the States.

Politics is activity in relation to power.

Everything is politics.

I understand that, for some, everything is political.

Politics organizes our lives. We can't disregard it. Politics has lot of muck, lot of dirt. But that doesn't mean you have to be away from it. It's ubiquitous.

There is this concept of politics as a dirty game.

Every body and thing has politics involved. Every. Single. Thing.

There's politics in all aspects of our daily lives.

Politics disappears; it vanishes. What remains constant is human life. So I try to develop a perspective in my writing where politics is just one of the pieces of furniture in this furnished world. It is not the purpose. It is not the goal.

There is a circus around politics. But if you think it is a game, then you forget what the purpose of politics actually is.
