It's hard to actually take details from your personal life and apply them a scene because, as much as you can identify with a feeling, you just get muddled. As soon as you start bringing your own stuff in, it's like, 'No, that's not right.' You're playing a different person. You can relate, but you have to leave that stuff at the door. ↗

Inauthenticity is endemic in American politics today. The political backrooms where I spent much of my career were just as benighted as my personal life, equally crowded with shadowy strangers and compromises, truths I hoped to deny. I lived not in one closet but in many. ↗

I would not take for granted that my personal life - because I knew better than anybody - that it was just a life. It was surprisingly an ordinary life. ↗

I value my privacy and my personal life - and I certainly don't exploit my personal life. ↗
