No matter where you stand politically - even if you're unsure of what your political ideology is - it is important to take part in the process of shaping our government.

I do what I do, and write what I write, without calculating what is worth what and so on. Fortunately, I am not a banker or an accountant. I feel that there is a time when a political statement needs to be made and I make it.

You don't go into politics unless you want to win.

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

There isn't much political coloration in my economic writing; it's not surprising that few people know my political views. They really aren't very important.

But I don't need to use politics as a way of making money.

Everybody makes personal decisions that are right for them and if you're in political life, you're used to having those analyzed.

I am not political as a person.

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

Once you've built the big machinery of political power, remember you won't always be the one to run it.
