I feel that if I am freed of the burden of politics, then I can do more and I can take more unpopular decisions. I can have as my guidance for decision whatever is right, not whatever is popular.

I don't want to express my opinion about actual politics, because if I do, I have to be responsible for my decision.

I am a partisan and artisan of Europe. But I draw the lessons of my experience in government.

I never like to get political, but when you have the ability, through your media, to influence a large mass of people, I would want to be a part of the evolving cycle of progress vs. keeping things the way that they are.

I don't feel political most of the time. Sometimes I'm placed in positions because no one else will go there.

Normally, I stay away from politics - unless I'm going to run for president.

I have a very balanced posture about the political situation in my country.

My politics are of a practical kind - the integrity of the country, the supremacy of the Federal government, an honorable peace, or none at all.

It's OK to not be political unless your country is falling apart.

While I hold my own political views, it's important not to get too wrapped up in individual candidates and personalities, but instead to focus on the real issues.
