I have no interest in managing my financial affairs.

Every budget I have ever prepared has been balanced.

All the politics of the post-war period was about the clash between the Soviet Union and America, and virtually all issues ended up being subordinated to that. Now, the question is, what is the most a socialist can achieve in a global economy?

I refuse not to have a sense of humour.

If transport, housing and Olympic projects do not work, I will crawl away under a stone.

The world is run by monsters and you have to deal with them. Some of them run countries, some of them run banks, some of them run news corporations.

Everyone changes all the time.
