I don't want a headline saying 'Kennedy suggests this or implies that.'

My approach is always to try to be straight with people, especially about what my party can achieve.

I'm not someone who dwells upon past events, taking the view that life is too short

My health is good and it's up to me to keep it that way.

It is true that I entered parliament at the age of 23, and have now been representing the people of my constituency for over twenty years.

I can hardly think of an occasion when I've got into a stand-up fight with any political opponent. I've got my views, people know what they are, they can agree or they can choose to disagree. I'm not going to waste time just rubbishing everybody else.
