"For me, an image of a politician has always been negative and while I have thought of roughing up certain politicians, I don't know if I ever wanted to b a part of it.
"I was once asked by a senior politician to campaign for him, but I told him, 'Sir, I have no idea what you are up to and if people get influenced by what I am saying and vote for you, then I will be responsible." In 2014, I hope w have a stable government and not a coalition one".
