We've seen a lot of dirty politics in Ireland.
We've seen a lot of dirty politics in Ireland. We know from the French, their wonderfully neurotic presidents, that our hands are sort of tied. The Italians - I don't know where it stops. No nation can claim "We are an uncorrupt nation, therefore we will tell you what the morals of democracy are." Because it's going on everywhere.
I think politics is a dirty game. We've seen the sides that they take; we've seen the commentary they have had on my father.
There is this concept of politics as a dirty game. It's a difficult game, but it doesn't have to be dirty. I think this is what we need to bring to politics. I think politics around the world has very often been captured by big interests - 'lobbies' they call them in the States.
Northern Ireland is part of Ireland, not Britain, as can clearly be seen from aerial photographs.
I mean Ireland, in all honesty I owe Ireland a lot because I think, and I'm not just saying this flippantly, Ireland is probably the reason that I do the job I do because when I started doing stand-up I came to Ireland and I just sort of gelled with the idea of doing it the way I do - telling stories.
There was a lot of politics going on, and Ireland were denied an Olympic gold medal in 2008.
Politics is dirty, and I don't like to talk about dirty things... My conscience is clear.
Politics is a dirty business, but if you do not do politics, politics will be done to you.
I have seen the Indian in his forests, and the Negro in his chains, and thought, as I contemplated their pitiable condition, that I saw the very extreme of human wretchedness; but I did not then know the condition of unfortunate Ireland...In all countries, more or less, paupers may be discovered; but an entire nation of paupers is what was never seen until it was shown in Ireland.
A lot of history is just dirty politics cleaned up for the consumption of children and other innocents.
We cannot put cinema in parallel with the political, because politics are something dirty and cinema is not dirty.
We used to spend a lot of time as kids in Northern Ireland, on the border and in southern Ireland as well.
In the chapter called "On Being a Woman in Politics," we have to come to grips with the endemic sexism and misogyny. Of course, it's not just in politics. It's in business. We have seen a lot of that coming out of Silicon Valley, and it's in the media, it's in culture. We know that.
When I think about political races, and certain consultants, the word that comes to mind is dirty. Dirty, dirty, DIRTY!
Stephen Ireland is one of the most talented players I have seen, and Nigel de Jong is doing really well. He fights for his team all over the pitch, and he has a lot of character.
Politics is dirty. Politics is exciting. Politics is often very, very difficult and disappointing. And I really would rather the world would be a little more like it was when my dad was young, where you knew pretty much where people stood on the great moral issues.
