“Let's be clear: all professions look bad in the movies. And there's a good reason for this. Movies don't portray career paths, they conscript interesting lifestyles to serve a plot. So lawyers are all unscrupulous and doctors are all uncaring. Psychiatrists are all crazy, and politicians are all corrupt. All cops are psychopaths, and all businessmen are crooks. Even moviemakers come off badly: directors are megalomaniacs, actors are spoiled brats. Since all occupations are portrayed negatively, why expect scientists to be treated differently?” LooksReasonActorsInterestingCareersPathClearCrazyPoliticianDirectorsDoctorsScientistProfessionLawyerLifestyleTreatedPlotOccupationCopBusinessmanPsychiatristSpoiledPsychopathCrooksCareer PathBratUncaringInteresting LifeMegalomaniacsSpoiled Brat Author:Michael Crichton

“Even though the press at times made me completely crazy as they followed me around the hall, and asked tough questions over and over again - now believe me, every politician feels this way - it is a necessary part of our life, and we must have a press that isn't cowed and won't be afraid of ratings if they get put to the back of the room at a press conference.” IfsWayFeelsBelieveMadeRoomsOur LivesCrazyPoliticianToughPressesHallsBelieve In MeConferencesRatingPress ConferencesTough Questions Author:Barbara Boxer
“We've got characters in the UK like Boris Johnson, who's kind of like a proto Trump in many ways even down to the crazy blonde hair.

“I think it's a slightly crazy time actually, it's very difficult to satirise because each of politicians is in their own way enacting a commentary on the world of politics anyway. To then comment on them just feels like adding another layer. I find it very difficult to do jokes about current politics because for me it's all about... I actually genuinely want people to be involved properly, you know? I mean, the number of people who don't vote...
