Every child has a right to education as much as to life, and every woman the right to live.

Education is all about igniting young minds and enabling them to attain their fullest potential.

My background is that I came from a middle class family, and I think those values stay where ever you go.

What I have learnt is that it is important to pursue your passion more than your legacy; if you have a passion with a purpose, then everything else fits in.

I strongly believe in my own rights and wrongs and impose them on myself and my family.

Education is not a tool for development - individual, community and the nation. It is the foundation for our future. It is empowerment to make choices and emboldens the youth to chase their dreams.

I dont like talking about any projects till they solidify and take off.

Wealth and power don’t go together. Power cannot be brokered. To me, power is responsibility.

As human beings, what we can do is extend help in whatever way possible.

Sport is not just about entertainment. It is equally about winning and losing, pooling and galvanising the energy of the youth, upgrading people's physical fitness and mental prowess.

I like to have everything smiley and happy for my husband. Men don't want to see a grumpy face at the end of a hard day.

Most of life is grey, with a little tiny bit of black and white.

The wonderful world of home appliances now makes it possible to cook indoors with charcoal and outdoors with gas.

So many things begin to change when you come at the world from that perspective of more than one right answer.

I think if people genuinely want to help ... that'll shine through, no matter what color or what race. We cannot see race before compassion.

Lucian Freud's career affirms that the only thing an artist can do is remain true to whatever vision, (lack of) talent, or ideas that happened to pick them in order to be made known to the world.

And the idea of ourselves is our escape from the fact what we really are.

I always write lyrics first and the rhythm and the melody come from the lyrics. It always comes from the lyrics: words have rhythm and words have melody.

Incredible to think isn't it, that every single Scotsman, started off as a scotch egg. Old and gingery.

In my view, a political vision is not a grab-bag of discrete problems and solutions. It is the visionary anticipation of a direction.

If I were dead, then nobody in England would have to fuss about the cost of my security and whether or not I merited such special treatment for so long.
