I could never be a career politician, because I believe in telling the truth.

I'm not a politician. And I don't want to be.

I am not a career politician, even though this is my 12th year in the United States House of Representatives.

When I was growing up in the United States and Sweden, I never thought about becoming a politician.

What was I qualified to do to make a living? Nothing. You don't need qualifications as an actor or a politician. And I didn't want to be a politician.

I don't want to be a politician. I don't like politics. It's petty; it fights dirty.

I will certainly not join politics. I would like to be remembered as a clean businessman who has not partaken in any twists and turns beneath the surface, and one who has been reasonably successful.

I'm a politician. I run for office. That's my profession.

I thought I'd grow up to be a teacher, or maybe run for political office.
