"Music is what I must do, business is what I need to do and politics is what I have to do." ― Bob Geldof Topic(s): Politics More From Bob Geldof "You can’t trust politicians. It doesn’t matter who makes a political speech. It’s all lies – and it applies to any rock star who wants to make a political speech as well." "It’s really very simple, Governor. When people are hungry they die. So spare me your politics and tell me what you need and how you’re going to get it to these people." "I was really lucky that I came to puberty at a time when music and politics were completely intertwined." More In Politics "I think that what I’m doing is right. And election-year politics, which intensifies everything, is not going to drive me off that course."― Eric Holder "I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend."― Thomas Jefferson "Good politics starts with empathy, proceeds to analysis, then sets out values and establishes the vision, before getting to the nitty-gritty of policy solutions."― David Miliband
