I didn't think I was ever going to run for office.
I don't see myself in any way in elective office.
I want to be Prime Minister, but I will stand for Mayor of London first.
I ran for attorney general to be attorney general.
I hope Paper Boi runs for president. I hope he does. Governor, mayor, senator, I hope he does it all. You better believe it.
I have no desire to run for public office.
The only way you approach politics and seek elective office is to move forward. For me to look back in anger or with any rancor would be a mistake.
I'm not particularly interested in running for president.
I was studying political science; I was adamant that I was going to follow in my father's footsteps.
I was planning to go into law or politics. I was well known for my public speaking. I went to an all-girl boarding school with uniforms. It was very posh for someone like me who came from a world where my parents showed beagles and sold dog products out of a yellow caravan.
I'd like to run for president. Or Prime Minister. I think I could do a better job.
I have no political ambitions for myself or my children.
After I had known [Barack Obama] for a while, I remember saying to my partner, "You know, this guy is really ambitious, I think he wants to be Mayor of Chicago." That was the limit of my imagination.
And it's a little - very humbling to think that running for president of the United States is - for a kid from Brooklyn, it's quite a step.
I wanted to be a politician and a movie star. But I was born a writer. If you're born that, you can't change it. You're going to do it whether you want to or not.~
There was a time I wanted to go into politics. And so all of a sudden, here I am, I guess. I'm in the thick of it.
If I want to continue to build the kind of effort we have with Do Something, being in a public office would help. I wouldn't rule it out, but it's not something I feel determined to do.
I don't have any presidential aspirations. If the millennials want me to do it, I'd do it, though.
I am joining politics for sure.
I'm told [ Zulfikar Ali] Bhutto is ambitious. I hope he's very ambitious; ambition may help him see reality.
Yeah, I want a job in Barack's Cabinet. How about a job, Mr. Obama? Please? Please?
You don't need qualifications as an actor or a politician. And I didn't want to be a politician.
