I've always had a 'Work hard play hard' attitude to life - I still do - but sometimes you get involved in something that needs a calm methodical approach.

Liberalism is a really old British tradition and it has a completely different attitude towards the individual and the relationship between the individual and the state than the collectivist response of Labour and particularly Old Labour does.

My attitude to writing is like when you do wallpapering you remember where all the little bits are that don't meet. And then your friends say: It's terrific!

I failed the LSAT. Basically if I had not failed I'd have been a lawyer and there would be no Spanx. I think failure is nothing more than life's way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome but in not trying. It is liberating.

I think it has something to do with being British. We don't take ourselves as seriously as some other countries do. I think a lot of people take themselves far too seriously I find that a very tedious attitude.

I perfectly understood President Obama's attitude throughout the French presidential campaign. He had no reason to distance himself from Nicolas Sarkozy. It's the basic solidarity that leaders who worked together owe to each other.

Oh I don't think Tom Sowell would tell anybody to join the administration. That's not his style. But I think his attitude has always been if it had to be done he'd prefer me to do it than somebody else.

That term's definitely got a negative aura to it because people think a diva is somebody with an attitude who demands things all the time. Of course there is that type of diva but my idea of a diva has always been a singer - whether male or female - who gets on that stage and captivates you with their presence and their voice.

Today I think the attitude is that governing is not necessarily good politics and the result is that it's much more partisan and much more divided.
