I became active in politics because I saw the possibility, if we all sat back and did nothing, of a world in which there would no longer be any stages for actors to act on.

I hate politics, hate deals, and deal-making, hate meeting with attorneys and agents.

The essential ingredient of politics is timing.

In my early 20s, I studied history and politics, and I really thought that perhaps I would devote my life to that.

I'm not involved in politics any more and they're quite right.
