Jesse Ventura
Interview in Playboy (November 1999)

Mr. Ventura would be surprised to see that his golden rule is word for word translated from Matthew 7:12.

It can be a crutch for those who choose to be weak-minded, but those who choose to contemplate the big questions and things that are infinite by definition are normally open minded.

I do try to be. Of course like many here, on the subject of politics I tend to have made my mind up with what I have observed so far in life. I do reserve the right to change my opinions as my conclusions and experiences change.

I find that very revealing and truthful, in the end we are all products of our life's experiences. I know my rather extreme political positions come from my own experiences. A person who has firm religious beliefs yet is able to remain open to the beliefs of others is someone that I, for one, respect.
