I've always been a workaholic. I reckon, on average, I've had less than one day a year off in my working career.

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.

I've always told the truth. I've often been wrong - but I've never knowingly lied. Not in public life. Because I don't see the need to.
