Don't waste your time away thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues.

Do you really want to know why I'm doing all this goodwill, and why I'm an ambassador for Habitat for Humanity and why I gave a million to [relief efforts for Hurricane] Katrina? It's because I feel guilty about the huge hole in the ozone layer my haircuts created. It's my responsibility to right the wrongs of the Eighties.

I have had some sorry-ass looks, but I'm the first one to laugh. I'm either to credit or to blame for the '80s.

Guys will take one pair of jeans, five T-shirts and three pair of socks and that'll get you by for 10 weeks.

We've been gone five years and the best they could come up with was boy bands?

What drew me to politics in the first place was the fact that I wanted to have a place to take a stand and use my voice to express what I believed in. But I've no longer got any political aspirations. I feel that as a politician, fifty per cent of people would hate you before you even left the house.

I don't work well outside the lines; my report card once read, "doesn't play well with others."
