<p>Hip-hop artist and producer Pharrell Williams said during a recent interview that he has no interest in getting involved in politics — and he sometimes gets &#8220;annoyed&#8221; by the whole scenario when he sees other celebrities throwing around endorsements.</p>
<p>Williams spoke to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/music-news/pharrell-williams-interview-lego-documentary-piece-by-piece-collaborations-1235996237/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hollywood Reporter</a> about &#8220;Piece By Piece,&#8221; a Lego animated biopic about his life and career in the music industry, and the topic eventually turned to his personal political views.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am much more of a federal employee. I believe in merited civil service,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>When asked to elaborate, he explained that he felt more in common with the federal employees who had no loyalty to a party — whether Democrat or Republican — but just showed up every day to work for the people.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // a-font-body-m ">&#8220;You show up to work every day, you serve your country. I’m more of a humanitarian. I like people trying to help people. Not sure I’ll ever vote far right,&#8221; he said, laughing. &#8220;I won’t do that.&#8221;</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // a-font-body-m ">&#8220;But I don’t really do politics,&#8221; he continued, noting that he had thrown his support behind education initiatives and projects that helped minority entrepreneurs. &#8220;Those are the things I lean into. I’m not an activist, but I believe in action. But I do believe in activists, and you need everybody.&#8221;</p>

<p>Williams was then asked about recent disputes involving certain campaigns using the music of artists who did not share their political views — and that was where he appeared to draw the line.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don’t do politics,&#8221; he said again. &#8220;In fact, I get annoyed sometimes when I see celebrities trying to tell you [who to vote for]. There are celebrities that I respect that have an opinion, but not all of them. I’m one of them people [who says], &#8216;What the heck? Shut up. Nobody asked you.&#8217; When people get out there and get self-righteous and they roll up their sleeves and s***, and they are out there walking around with a placard: &#8216;Shut up!&#8217; So, no, I would rather stay out of the way, and obviously, I’m going to vote how I’m going to vote. I care about my people and I care about the country, but I feel there’s a lot of work that needs to be done, and I’m really about the action.&#8221;</p>
