I've taken my time. I've thought about it; I've consulted, and I've decided that we are going to create a new political movement, one that will be neither on the Right or the Left.
In 1995 the whole political situation was very complicated. I was the first deputy prime minister, and at the same time I had very low influence in the government.
I haven't made a political statement in quite a long time because, frankly, they get repeated, changed.
Every time we get in drag and bat an eyelash, it is a political statement.
I think any time we do drag, especially in 2018, it's a political statement. Because we're living in a world where people don't see drag queens as equal. They don't see queer people as equal. They don't see people of any minority as equal.
Tonight was a great opportunity to take on the political status quo that has given us trillion dollar deficits and put millions out of work. Our objective was to inject some common sense into the conversation among Republicans at a time when business-as-usual simply won't work.
By the time of my ninth birthday, I had become a bit of a socialist, as I am said by conservative colleagues to be to this day. I went on within the next few years to volunteer as an envelope stuffer for the American Labor Party, and my political thinking has not shifted measurably since that time.
The country needs the political work of women today as much as it has ever needed woman in any other work at any other time.
You really have to try hard to create space and, at least for a time, stop the political world from rushing in. The important thing is to remain sane.
I have some friends who have been living in the political world for some time now. It's a lot of robbing Peter to pay Paul. If you've got something you want, and that person who has it wants something in return, it quite literally becomes your job to find whatever it is that they want.
The political world is a dark place. If you want to portray it accurately, authentically, you've got to turn out the lights from time to time.
In country music, one of the ways we may have gone wrong in the past is trying to be politically correct all the time.
I am politically incorrect, that's true. Political correctness to me is just intellectual terrorism. I find that really scary, and I won't be intimidated into changing my mind. Everyone isn't going to love you all the time.
There was a Gallup poll that said something like 70 percent of people in the United States do not enjoy their job - they work to put food on the table and get insurance to survive. So, what happens when technology can do all that work for us and allow us to actually do what we enjoy with our time?
To be confronted as you exit the polling place is really a matter of if you have the time, if you have the inclination to speak to a stranger, and if you want to divulge what is a very sacred, private matter - the way that you just voted.
I know that a lot of people love to say that polls are wrong or don't matter, and from time to time they are - it depends on who they are polling.
I'm going to start a polo team with my friend, and we're trying to collect as many horses as we can. You have to find time for things you love.
I can't say I've ever had a dream about space or that I ponder it all the time.
Each match I approach like a new one. The work is so immense that you don't have time to sit and ponder.
My own way of thinking is to ponder long and I hope deeply on problems and for a long time which I keep away for years and years and I never really let them go.
