In politics, you also have to be cautiously optimistic.

We tend to think of politics as bad, full of dirty tricks, negative ads, big campaigns, but I am here to explore the original meaning of politics, which is positive and has to do with balancing competing interests and looking for solutions.

I'm in politics. I'm in government, so nothing surprises me.

People go into politics because they want the affirmation, and they want the applause.

If I weren't doing the politics, I wouldn't be doing my job.
