Quote

I don't know much about politics, and I don't want to know. That's why I rarely involve myself in politics.

Before I had decided to get into politics, I was laying the groundwork to have a career in the law, but that was really to lay the foundation to teach, either at the college level or law school level after my federal clerkships.

I entered politics from a completely different background from other people in this field, and that has helped me to see and deal with things differently.

I went to college at the University of Kansas, where I got a degree in political science.

I went to law school after college.

I grew up in a household where we talked politics a lot and argued politics a lot.

I spend time in the classroom. I think more of them aren't political science than are political science. I particularly like talking to journalism students.

I've had an interest in politics since I was a little kid.

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