We're in an illusion about what our role is in world politics and foreign affairs and our policies are killing and destroying and doing a lot of things that we are not aware of.

Well for me the pro-life issue has been something I've been very passionate about since the '70s and I have been very involved in the pro-life community since long before politics.

Politics has become unbelievably and unfortunately way too much about how much money is involved rather than what kind of ideas are involved.

I get asked a lot about getting into politics. I say 'Take a look at politics. You tell me what seems appealing about that.'

Please don't ask me any questions about the politics of 30 years ago.

I do not know much about politics but I am trying to do the best I can with this administration until the time shall come for me to turn it over to somebody else.

I didn't become leader to transform the Liberal Democrats into an enlarged form of the Electoral Reform Society. It's not the be all and end all for us. There are other very very key ambitions in politics not least social mobility and life chances that I care about as passionately if not more.

If I cry it's about the personal loss of a friend or something like that. But when it comes to politics - no I don't cry.

Well you know what I'm 60 years old and I've been interested in politics since I was on my daddy's knee. During the 1948 election we were praying for Truman. I know a lot about politics.

I still love following and thinking about politics. I enjoy recommending important journalism I read or see from other sources.

I deliberately did not read anything about the Vietnam War because I felt the politics of the war eclipsed what happened to the veterans. The politics were irrelevant to what this memorial was.

I don't want to express my opinion about actual politics because if I do I have to be responsible for my decision.
