My chances of being PM are about as good as the chances of finding Elvis on Mars, or my being reincarnated as an olive. ↗

I have not been more robust towards female rather than male assembly members and I do not believe I have been remotely sexist. ↗

Times have been tough, the economy has been tough. But I want to bring forward a fantastic manifesto for taking the city forwards. ↗

Art is the window to man's soul. Without it, he would never be able to see beyond his immediate world; nor could the world see the man within. ↗

I think it's silly for anyone to think you could write under the influence, but if they'd like to think that, I'd like to keep the legend alive. Maybe I was under the influence when I wrote Jesus' Son and I just didn't know it. ↗

I could have married again while I was still young. A congregation likes to have a married minister, and I was introduced to every niece and sister-in-law in a hundred miles. In retrospect, I'm very grateful for whatever reluctance it was that kept me alone until your mother came. Now that I look back, it seems to me that in all that deep darkness a miracle was preparing. So I am right to remember it as a blessed time, and myself as waiting in confidence, even if I had no idea what I was waiting for. ↗
