Quote #2

I think I would like to be a Senator or something in twenty years. I don't think I really know enough yet. I'm just 30 now and I wouldn't even be eligible to run for office for another five years. But I have a lot of feelings about things. I know the way I would like to see things for this country and in my travels, when I talk to people, everybody wants pretty much the same thing: peace, enough jobs, no poverty and good education. And I've learned a lot. It's funny. So many people in show business go into politics, and I used to say 'What the heck do they know about it?' But when you travel around, you really do get to feel - not to be cliche - the pulse of the country and what people want. I'm concerned and it's not good to be unconcerned and just sit there.
