If we had a party every time someone died on 'The Following,' we'd never get anything done.

Without the political parties and the volunteering work of their members day in, day out, we would have a very different sort of politics and society.

Political parties could learn a lot from pro wrestling, as we have our passionate base, too, but we don't necessarily gear our show around them.

All sacrifices of common sense, and all recourse to plausible political combinations, whether of individuals or of men, are uniformly made at the expense of the majority.

I think it was a great moment for America to have two ladies on the podium.

We don't see the people who are doing real things getting enough props. We often see politicians who are everywhere but nowhere at the same goddamn time. You know the kind of person: You see them everywhere on television but nowhere in front of your face.

I looked over and saw this man on the extreme right aisle sort of galloping to the podium. He was tall, he was thin, and the way he was galloping it looked as though he was going someplace much more important than the podium.

Being prime minister is a lonely job... you cannot lead from the crowd.

Solemnity in politicians is not only tiresome but may even mask those twin sins - self-righteousness and intolerance - for the opinions of others. If I couldn't laugh, I couldn't live, especially in politics.
