"I am a Democrat, which was nothing I decided for myself but simply the way I was brought up, starting with the idea of 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,' which is the basis of the simple social compact by which we live and also 'You are not so different from other people so don't give yourself airs,' which was drummed into us children back in the old days when everyone went to public schools. Don't be conceited."
