I don't believe in democracy by bayonet.

I am not aspiring to be a senior bureaucrat. It would limit my freedom.

I never planned to be rich, frankly speaking. I was more interested in being free, and doing things. And money helps. But otherwise I was never that interested in it.

It is not polite for a Russian to interfere in British politics.

Democracy is not something you believe in or a place to hang your hat, but it's something you do. You participate. If you stop doing it, democracy crumbles.

I believe in decentralized democracy.
