I never came into life with any favours or privileges.

I've got people handling the media. I employ at the moment two people. No-one is paying income tax on the money they use to employ people.

Everyone changes all the time.

The people I really most admire are Robert Kennedy and Franklin Roosevelt. If you know someone, it is very hard to revere them.

Everyone is bisexual. Almost everyone has the sexual potential for anything.

The market is a brilliant system for the exchange of goods and services, but it doesn't protect the environment unless it's regulated, it doesn't train your workforce unless it's regulated, and it doesn't give you the long-term investment you want.

I became a councillor back in 1971, so if by this stage in politics I'm making lots of big mistakes, then I shouldn't be here.
