I've always felt at home in the Church. Catholics are often more laid back than they are given credit for - presumably because at the back of their minds they realize that, if necessary, they can always confess everything to their local priest.

I didn't choose to be gay. It would be more accurate to say that it was determined by nature.

Every time I see niqabs, I feel very uncomfortable because it's the opposite of my idea of opened society.

Anyone who still feels today that he has to lead a double life because he's gay is driven by a fear that I think is unfounded.

I don't support gay marriage despite being a conservative. I support gay marriage because I am a conservative.

Let's not ask whether the parents are gay or heterosexual. The important thing is who the best parents are in each individual case.

I'm a devout individual so I remain faithful to my church.
