But I don't think I would have the stomach for the maneuvering that is necessary in politics.

I think there's a little politics being played here,

It's kind of a vindictive deal, ... Basically, it got down to politics.

That's the moment I got interested in politics. I remember going to a Penguins game with Artie. He described all the conversations that were going on and he didn't know what he wanted to do at that point, but said he probably wasn't going to go ahead with it. That's when I first started thinking about government and politics ... when I got intrigued by all of the gamesmanship that goes on.

I don't think we've ever had a situation where so much of our politics depends on one person.
