Cannes Film Festival prefers political films. We have to target certain festivals based on our films.
— Vetrimaaran
In general, even when I'm not doing political comedy, I want to be clever and find the least confrontational way to say the most offensive things.
— Varun Grover
There is no stopping the world's tendency to throw off imposed restraints, the religious authority that is based on the ignorance of the many, the political authority that is based on the knowledge of the few.
— Van Wyck Brooks
It doesn't matter what country or what political system you are from. Space brings you together.
— Valentina Tereshkova
Argentine political life is like the life of an ant community or an African forest tribe: full of events, full of crisis and deaths, but life is always cyclical, and the year ends as it begins.
— V. S. Naipaul
It was my fortune, or misfortune, to be called to the office of Chief Executive without any previous political training.
— Ulysses S. Grant
I resent the idea that Israel is part of the political agenda in United States' campaigns, really.
— Tzipi Livni
Israel needs to change direction, and this is not just political. We're becoming more closed-in, more isolated, more scared. Those who talk tough are making the State of Israel very weak, very isolated - very Jewish, in the Diaspora-sense, in that 'everyone is against us.' We need to get out of this.
The divisiveness that threatens the fabric of our nation - whether due to race, religion, political ideology, gender, sexual orientation, or other - must end.
— Tulsi Gabbard
Even political insiders recognize that years of political effort on behalf of Evangelical Christians have generated little cultural gain.
— Tullian Tchividjian
The second you feel a political imperative, it destroys your art.
— Tucker Carlson
I have no time for political hacks who say things they don't believe because they get paid to.
Any time there is an economic downturn or political strife, lipstick sales skyrocket. If you have a hard day, it's this $14 thing that lifts your day. I think drag has that same lipstick effect.
— Trixie Mattel
Our economy, our safety, our jobs all take a back seat to the left's political desire to hurt Trump.
— Trish Regan
I'm not political, but I am policy-oriented and I am interested in the right moves for our economy, for our nation; but I'm also always willing to listen.
I think of my visual work as an exploration of political epistemology: the politics of how we know what we think we know.
— Trevor Paglen
The notion that the levels of radiation would be damaging to human life is preposterous. It's simply not true. It is a political claim more than it is a scientific claim. THAAD has been a thoroughly tested system, and it has been extremely effective.
— Trent Franks
There is no room for political, personal or religious ideologies in science.
— Venkatraman Ramakrishnan
Burzum is not a political or religious band, or even an anti-religious band. Burzum is music - art if you like - and the interpretation of art lies in the eye of the beholder.
— Varg Vikernes
When you work for the C.I.A. or as a diplomat, or serve in the military, you're not serving as a Democrat or a Republican; you serve as an American, whatever your personal moral compass or political views might be. So that would describe me.
— Valerie Plame
Even a purely moral act that has no hope of any immediate and visible political effect can gradually and indirectly, over time, gain in political significance.
— Vaclav Havel
Media populism means appealing to people directly through media. A politician who can master the media can shape political affairs outside of parliament and even eliminate the mediation of parliament.
— Umberto Eco
I have got nothing against family companies, but there must be real equity, that is all I say. It cannot be based on influence or political friendships. It has to be based on real equity backing their dreams.
— Uday Kotak
Radical groups can become legitimate political players in the democratic process if they accept core democratic principles and abandon the use of force as a political tool. Or they can maintain armed terrorist militias in order to threaten their neighbors and intimidate their people. The international community should not allow them to do both.
Make America Great Again was a political slogan. It was used before, I believe Ronald Reagan used it before. It was about making America great and rallying America. Unfortunately, I would say 10 percent of the population that voted for President Trump has a different view. They have embraced it as ‘Make America White Again.'
— Tyrus
The cause of peace is too great for us to allow political disagreements or partisanship to stand in our way.
When it comes to engaging and influencing culture, too many Christians think too highly of political activism.
What bothers me is the lack of self-awareness. I don't know if I have ever met a group less self-aware than political reporters.
Many still believe that conducting political and economic reforms at the same time is not an Asian way. But this is a fairy-tale. We broke that old stereotype by reforming our political, economic and social systems concurrently since 1990.
— Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj
Human suffering is not, nor should it ever be, a political issue.
I'm setting the record straight - Chuck Schumer is nothing but a political animal who symbolizes all that's wrong with American politics.
There's no use to having the majority if you are going to be hamstrung by your perception of political vicissitudes.
— Trey Gowdy
In human geography, we think about landscapes as being political, social, cultural, economic, and physical things all at the same time. And that's the way that I wanted to approach the question of state secrecy.
We need to figure out how to merge political progress with actual progress.
— Travis Kalanick
I am primarily a comedian. Sometimes I also do comedy about my cats. Now unless you find metaphors in cats, there is nothing political about those and I love doing such jokes as much as I love doing political content.
Principles aren't something you hear much from politicians these days. Have you noticed? Right across the board, leaders, whatever the political coloring, avoid talking about laws; they avoid talking about principles. They talk about 'our values.' But values can change, and all our packets of 'values' seem to be getting smaller.
— Vanessa Redgrave
Where I underestimated the opposition was how willing Republicans in Congress would be to put their short-term political interests ahead of what they knew was good for their country. That was extremely disappointing.
— Valerie Jarrett
I have always moved by intuition alone. I have no system, literary or political. I have no guiding political idea.
Today, political events are nullified unless they're on TV.
Democracy is not only the right to vote, it is also about not resorting to violence in order to reach political goals and respecting agreements signed by former governments.
Israel was established as a homeland for the Jewish people and embraced all the Jews who had to leave Arab states. This should be also the true meaning of the future Palestinian state. It should be the answer for the Palestinians wherever they are - those who live in the territories, and those who are being kept as political cards in refugee camps.
I think 'Freedom's Goblin' is a very political title.
— Ty Segall
Unfortunately, sometimes our leaders, for their own political purposes, want us to think in terms of categories and groupings. Our group vs. this group vs. another group. This must end.
Usually, whatever people's particular political leaning is, they either think I'm just like them or the opposite.
— Tucker Max
He'll likely be remembered as a political figure, but I don't recall Andrew Breitbart ever mentioning electoral politics. It bored him.
Ma Ying-jeou tends to use cross-strait policy as an election tool and a political tool, too, and my position is that we don't use that as a political tool because that is an issue that is critical and essential to the interests of the Taiwanese people.
— Tsai Ing-wen
The Democrats have morphed themselves into the anti-worker, anti-American (as it relates to Iranian terrorists and China), and anti-family political party. They have strayed too far from the values - economic and personal - that have made America the powerhouse we are.
To me, economics doesn't need to be political.
There's no secret about my ambition, I do not want to go into the House of Commons. My only real political interest is in London and if one day I'm in a position to run for mayor, then terrific.
— Trevor Phillips
Nothing that you make in the world exists in isolation from the social and political and ecological dimensions of it.
