I've always said that an art critic can put aside politics around art.

Politics is the art of preventing people from busying themselves with what is their own business.

I hate politics. It's slimy. Any job where people pander for votes, I don't like. The country has gotten so partisan that if you're not on my side, you're the enemy. The only thing I ever try to support is a third party, like Unity08. We need more parties and more choice.

We need leadership. We don't need a doubling down on the failed politics of the past.

To my great disappointment, it appears that the politics of division are making a big comeback. Many Americans share my disappointment - especially those who were filled with great hope a few years ago, when then-Senator Obama announced his candidacy in Springfield, Illinois.

Where there is politics or economics, there is no morality.

I tend to avoid televisions, politics, and places with velvet ropes.

A promising young man should go into politics so that he can go on promising for the rest of his life.

A wise nation should cultivate a political spirit that allows opponents to cooperate without fearing an automatic execution from their core supporters. Who knew that the real rogues in American politics would be the ones who dare to get along?

It is easier for women to succeed in business, the arts, and politics in America than in Europe.
