I don't know if I even consider myself a very political person. I have always had strong beliefs on important social issues. Politics have politicized social issues, but I don't know if social issues are in fact political. If anything, they are more human issues than they are political issues.

Kenneth Cole

The pun exists in a social and political void, caring nothing for the issues of its day, content merely to display itself in its small cleverness.

Arthur Smith

Through the years, I had became involved with social and political issues, such as racial discrimination.

Sam Wanamaker

I've always been interested in how things change, in social change. I was involved in the animal rights movement as a young woman, I've been involved in thinking about gender and issues around racism and so on.

Gail Bradbrook

I came to Mozambique in 1986, when I first became involved with Teatro Avenida - a theatre company that stages plays concerned with political and social issues.

Henning Mankell

I'm very committed to anti-racism and gender equality - political issues, but not party political.

David Baddiel

I have been talking about social issues on YouTube for a long time now. I think it's very important in terms of being able to reach people around the world and people who have never been exposed to certain topics or are maybe misinformed about certain things.

Franchesca Ramsey

There's a social piece to what's going on in the Sugarland world, but we've never been a band that's political, and I maintain that.

Kristian Bush

The old battle between Christian Democrats and Social Democrats is now meaningless, not least because the social structures that underlay those parties, the church and the unions, have faded away. Nationalists and populists understood this change earlier; now the rest of the political world needs to understand that the political lines have been redrawn and it's time to change.

Anne Applebaum

Problems become privatized and removed from larger social issues. This is one task, connecting the personal problems to larger social issues that progressive leftist intellectuals have failed to take on as a major political and educational project.

Henry Giroux

For as long as I can remember, I've always been interested in issues of social justice, political freedom, and civil rights.

Jennifer Chiaverini

I'm not involved in light, frivolous matters. I'm not involved in fringe or side issues. I'm involved in serious issues.

Michele Bachmann

I've been in Parliament since 1983, and I've been involved in many issues over the time.

Jeremy Corbyn

I've been involved in social activism my entire life, and I would argue that many people involved in social activist movements have done very little work on themselves.

Eve Ensler

We’ve always been involved with issues that deal with the fundamental human rights of people, whether that means the right to political freedom or the right to breathe air that’s clean.

Mary Travers

Historically, girls have not been encouraged to be scientists, to be explorers, and there's a social kind of constraint, of course. Having the responsibility, a disproportionate part of the responsibility, for caring for families, caring for children. I know this challenge from firsthand experience because I have three children and four grandsons.And some of the time I have spent as a scientist and as an explorer has meant choosing to not be with my children and grandchildren as much as I might otherwise have done had I not been a scientist, an explorer.
