I think I finally chose the graduate degree in engineering primarily because it only took one year and law school took three years and I felt the pressure of being a little behind - although I was just 22.

Being considerate of others will take your children further in life than any college degree.

I was very happy being a secretary. I loved working for the government. I was very happy with my life.

You can't win with some people. If you're not in government you're criticised for being not serious. If you are in government you're criticised for wanting power. That's the Labour party's line of attack and it's a bit ridiculous.

My house was bugged. They couldn't find any information on me being a subversive because I happen to love America I just don't like some of the things the government is doing.

So you can say 'Get Big Government out of here and don't tell me what to eat ' but when kids are going to school and they're being fed junk we're pretty much telling them what to eat and we're telling them junk is OK.

If I was afraid of being killed I would never speak out against the government.

Thankfully due to the United Kingdom and the commitment of the Westminster government we are able to ensure that money brought in whether it be from the City of London or from North Sea oil can be pooled and directed to wherever it is needed most. That is what being in the United Kingdom is all about.

I'm not a knee-jerk conservative. I passionately believe in free markets and less government but not to the point of being a libertarian.

The lies the government and media tell are amplifications of the lies we tell ourselves. To stop being conned stop conning yourself.
