Politics are close to me, but there are different ways of participating 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 was really fascinated by politics. It always has been part of my view that politics really is a calling or you wouldn't go into it, because it's demanding and potentially has a toll on you and your family.

Politics is the science of who gets what, when, and why.

The politics have always been difficult in medicine. There is some truth in the way medical practice is portrayed in TV dramas.

I believe that politics takes a much different set of skills than science. Science is about getting to the truth. Politics is about what people think and how they react.

Politics gets me out of bed in the morning It's what really interests me. I'm a competitor, but I also feel like I'm contributing, whether it's working on health-care policy in the White House or out here in Chicago.

I realized that becoming a doctor, I can only help a small community. But by becoming a politician, I can help my whole country.

I love politics.

If I went into politics, it's because I grew up in a political atmosphere.
