We've taken the view that if the rest of the world would democratize and create market economies that would spread the benefits of prosperity around the world and that it would enhance our own prosperity and our own stability and security as well.

Today if you look at financial systems around the globe more than half the population of the world - out of six billion people more than three billion - do not qualify to take out a loan from a bank. This is a shame.

Money is like manure. You have to spread it around or it smells.

People are so used to having their lives filmed they're not even conscious of having cameras around. I still have that sort of suspicion when a camera comes out. I view it as a thing to fear.

With all of the divisiveness that is going on in the country we live in so much of it is based around just fear of the other. And anyone who does not look like me walk like me talk like me have sex like me they're the other and I'm afraid of them. And hopefully we will learn that it's just not scary. There's nothing to be afraid of.

My greatest desire is that the hope that has overcome fear in my country will help vanquish it around the world.

I fear that the rising personal bankruptcies and repossessions are the first signs of bigger problems to come and personal debt - Gordon Brown's legacy to millions of Britain's families - will hang like a millstone around the neck of the British people for years to come.

Fear is just not a part of my life - so much so that if it's involved in somebody else's life and they're close to me I won't be around them.

My fear now is of cliche of complacency of not being able to feel authenticity in myself and those around me.

Almost all the ideas we have about being a man or being a woman are so burdened with pain anxiety fear and self-doubt. For many of us the confusion around this question is excruciating.
