The only thing I have no control over is the politics that goes on within the record company. It's always been the same, but it's far tougher now, because record companies are run by financial people before, they were run by creative people.

Politics is much too serious to be taken too seriously equally, there are many aspects of it so laughable as to be lamentable.

Politics is the enemy of the imagination.

London in the '70s was a pretty catastrophic dump, I can tell you. We had every kind of industrial trouble we had severe energy problems we were under constant terrorist attack from Irish terrorist groups who started a bombing campaign in English cities politics were fantastically polarized between left and right.

The journey for women, no matter what venue it is - politics, business, film - it's, it's a long journey.

My politics are of a practical kind - the integrity of the country, the supremacy of the Federal government, an honorable peace, or none at all.

I understand the damage the expenses crisis has done to Parliament, and the paramount importance of restoring trust in our politics.

Nothing is irreparable in politics.

In argument, truth always prevails finally in politics, falsehood always.

I hate politics. I like to write about it, but to get involved in it, to try and make a lot of ignorant people do what you want them to do, waste of time. Go and write a book. It's more important and it'll last longer.
