"I tend to avoid televisions, politics, and places with velvet ropes." ― Demetri Martin Topic(s): Politics More From Demetri Martin "I didn’t do improv in college, I never performed, I didn’t do theater either. I was in student government, I was a history major." "And of course I didn’t make any money from stand up for years, so I had temp jobs. That was the way I made money." "For example, I was a White House intern the summer before I dropped out of law school. Everybody knew about it. I’d come home and go to church and everybody would say, ‘Oh, my God. Demetri, you’re working at the White House.’" More In Politics "By 2000, politics will simply fade away. We will not see any political parties."― R. Buckminster Fuller "Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives."― John Stuart Mill "I always voted at my party’s call, and I never thought of thinking for myself at all."― William Gilbert
