Creativity is essential to any kind of joyful living. Sometimes I act, sometimes I draw, I paint, I write poems. I can't imagine living without it.

What I see increasingly is that companies are playing political roles. We should actually have our research and our laws map that.

I think the reason you see so many people dropping out of politics is because there's an anti-poetic strain in modern political discourse.

I don't have any particular plans in mind. What I see is that you can become so focused on the idea of running that winning becomes your motivation, as opposed to what you stand for being your motivation.

I think about people and events in terms of archetypes a lot.

I think part of the reason the Tea Party has resonated is that people feel disempowered. The Tea Party says, "You are out of power because of big government." Then some Democrats tend to respond by saying, "No, you're wrong, you're not out of power." It's a sense that doesn't resonate with people's lived experience.

My current goal is to change the way we think about antitrust and anti-monopoly.
