Most people don't want to talk about politics and religion. They say, 'Let's talk about something else.'

Politics is an act of faith; you have to show some kind of confidence in the intellectual and moral capacity of the public.

I thought maybe, just by never preaching, never doing any of that stuff because it doesn't work. By just maybe the power of example and some laughs, maybe somebody might go take a walk.

I've been in politics now for long enough to not worry about what others are saying, but instead to talk about what I believe.

If I started preaching politics from the pulpit, our church would empty overnight. That's not why people come to church. They want to hear the word of God being proclaimed, not the word of Robert Jeffress.

I am perfectly capable of writing things about myself that one doesn't discuss in polite company, but I was raised by people who said you don't discuss politics, you don't discuss religion, and you certainly don't discuss people's sex lives.

I follow politics, but I don't like to discuss it.

You can't just talk politics all the time - it's boring.

I think that if I would talk on a political subject, if I talk about it, it would divide the audience on that issue. That's not my issue.

Religion has to stay in the heart, not in politics. It is private.
