I think a good MP is someone who cares for their community and becomes their champion, which is why I will make my home in any seat I am lucky enough to be selected for. Looks play no part in the equation, what matters is your ideas and connecting them to the electorate.
Everything my mother and father did was designed to put me where I am.
I am always wary of decisions made hastily. I am always wary of the first decision, that is, the first thing that comes to my mind if I have to make a decision. This is usually the wrong thing. I have to wait and assess, looking deep into myself, taking the necessary time.
I am so blessed. I have an incredible wife, children I adore; I'm a very happy man. I've got a great mom and dad and brothers and sisters and stuff, so I've always been happy. And I never stop smiling.
Listen, man: I am not the industrial godfather, king, whatever. I don't relish that title. I don't like it. I think it's limiting. I do country, I do blues. I don't just go straight.
Who knows, maybe I am simply a talented architect?
I want to be an actor, and I am being an actor. I'm not ready to run off on a road trip. Yet.
I am actually in poor health due to chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome, and my ability to work is greatly diminished right now, so I have to get better before I can start another big project.
I am happy and I'm single.
I don't have any huge desire to show you all that I'm not tough and strong, that I'm all feminine and soft. That's not a huge longing that I have because I know who I am.
I am so glad my wife tolerates me. And we have three wonderful sons.
But I am just as appalled that my experience, knowledge, dedication and service relative to defending the United States against biological warfare has been turned against me in connection with the search for the anthrax killer.
I am comfortable at the height where destiny has put me.
People see my impressions as a great skill and I am flattered, but there are things I can't do that everyone else can. I can do funny voices and funny faces but I can't drive.
It has taken me most of my adult life to come to terms with who I am. To do that, I had to break free of attitudes that brought me down.
I have cellulite. I admit it. But sometimes I just say, 'Screw it, I am going to wear a bikini.'
I am an engineer, but what I find important and necessary is that you just learn things as you go along.
The funny thing is, I don't actually think of myself as fat at all. I don't think I am. Not really.
The only time that I am really truly happy - when I feel at my best - is when I'm on the stage.
I am just convinced that people want to see people on TV who are more like themselves.
The suit-and-tie job is very nice but it's not really who I am in my heart.
In 1974, I first met Carl. I was 25 years old. I am 51 now.
I am not an enormous believer in research being the be-all and end-all. I get suspicious when I read about actors spending six months in a clinic, say, in order to play someone who is sick.
A little secret - I'm the child of a shrink. I am; my mom's a shrink, and my father's a lawyer. So believe me, I analyze and negotiate. That is a huge amount of the director's work, especially when you're working with people who - such a variety.
The advice I am giving always to all my students is above all to study the music profoundly... music is like the ocean, and the instruments are little or bigger islands, very beautiful for the flowers and trees.
In my case Pilgrim's Progress consisted in my having to climb down a thousand ladders until I could reach out my hand to the little clod of earth that I am.
I am primarily concerned with the condition of man.
I am not going to opt for a short-term view for a 206-year-old institution like the SBI.
When I tried to play characters that strayed from who I am it ended in disaster. People didn't expect me in comedies or musicals.
I want to show America who I am and inspire young kids.
I am very proud to be British. I'm very conscious of carrying my country with me wherever I go. I feel I need to represent it well.
I always like to reveal the fact that the emperor has no clothes. And children are best at that. They teach us how to see the world in that sense. They are without artifice; they see it for what it is. I am drawn to that ruthless honesty.
I am a babe for a living.
When I was a child, it was my dream to be a professional footballer. When I was 14 I visited Milan's San Siro stadium and remember thinking how unbelievable it was. From then onwards I vowed that one day I would be playing there - and I am very proud that I achieved this and also for everything else I have managed to achieve in football.
I don't think I am a soul singer and definitely don't think that I am a country artist by any stretch.
I am interested in a lot of things - not just show business and my passion for animals. I try to keep current in what's going on in the world. I do mental exercises. I don't have any trouble memorizing lines because of the crossword puzzles I do every day to keep my mind a little limber. I don't sit and vegetate.
