Science & Tech Quote by Bianca Jagger

"I wanted to have a political career. I thought studying political science would be the best way to achieve it"

About this Quote

Ambition rarely sounds so tidy in retrospect, and that is part of the charm here. Bianca Jagger frames her early life with the clean, career-counselor logic of “I wanted X, so I studied Y,” a structure that implies control, planning, and merit. Coming from a celebrity whose public image was shaped as much by nightlife mythology and tabloid optics as by activism, the line works as a quiet corrective: before the cameras, there was a serious, almost studious intention.

The subtext is a bid for legitimacy, but not the desperate kind. It’s lightly defiant. Jagger reminds you that “celebrity” can be an accident of proximity and attention, not a replacement for purpose. By naming political science specifically, she anchors herself to a credentialed route into power, signaling that her later advocacy (human rights, social justice, global causes) isn’t just moral accessorizing. She’s telling you she didn’t stumble into politics because it looked noble; she started there.

Context matters: for women, especially glamorous women in the public eye, political seriousness is often treated as a costume they put on when the party ends. Jagger’s sentence flips that suspicion. It suggests the party was the detour, not the destination. The simplicity is strategic: no grand ideology, no saintly self-myth. Just a straightforward account of intent, which reads as more credible precisely because it refuses to perform.
