When you cover politics, you realize that knowing how to talk about character matters more and more. The way we hold ideas is more important than the ideas.

Politicians often reveal most about themselves in unguarded moments.

People read more mysteries than they do political pamphlets.

It is reckless to make broad generalizations about any group of people.

I know that every time I list something that I am, I am potentially alienating a whole group of people. Publicists and managers will encourage you not to say what political party you belong to, what you eat, what you don't eat, who you sleep with and all that stuff.

It is very difficult to know what may be in the back of the mind of public figures.

Those things which I am saying now may be obscure, yet they will be made clearer in their proper place.

We all know we are unique individuals, but we tend to see others as representatives of groups.

No, I see it as meaning very little at the moment because none of the groups are about anything.
