I have found that I get a better reaction from people once I am less bothered about their reaction.

If there's one thing above all that sets me apart from Tony Blair it is this - I am not embarrassed to articulate the instincts of the British people.

I am only about winning and getting better.

I've always said I'm less interested in twists as I am about escalation.

I am better than my reputation.

I may be no better, but at least I am different.
