Sally is my wife, but not my chattel or my property.

I've never been much given to little social cliques.

Lying to a committee is a very grave abuse, and there ought to be a clear punishment.

If you asked me if I'd rather be Speaker or a very senior minister, I'd say Speaker.

I pride myself on being courteous to people, and trying to fashion good relations.

I think the record shows that as Speaker, I have taken the lead in cleaning up politics.

I'm supremely uninterested as to what is written in many of the newspapers.
