“I'm not above acting like a seal every once in a while and waiting for the next fish, I just don't want to do it all the time.”

Fred Thompson (1942–2015) American politician and actor

(full quote in context) Asked why he had not done more debates, Thompson replied "Standing up here 10 in a row, you know, like a bunch of seals waiting for somebody to throw you the next fish, is not necessarily the best way to impart your information to the American people. I'm not above acting like a seal every once in a while and waiting for the next fish, I just don't want to do it all the time."
