It is vital that we get these policies right as we take forward our plans to drive down the deficit and transform our economy.

I believe something very deeply. That Britain's national interest is best served in a flexible, adaptable and open European Union and that such a European Union is best with Britain in it.

Billions raised, billions spent. No idea where the money has gone. With a record like that the chancellor should be running for treasurer of the Labour Party.

For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens: as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone.

It does not seem to me that the steps which would be needed to make Britain - and others - more comfortable in their relationship in the European Union are inherently so outlandish or unreasonable.

I don't want to be Prime Minister of England, I want to be Prime Minister of the whole of the United Kingdom.

Lots of people call me Dave, my mum calls me David, my wife calls me Dave, I don't really notice what people call me.

If you can work and if you're offered a job and you don't take it, you cannot continue to claim benefits. It will be extremely tough.

I am sure of this: I am not crying. It is just that stupid drops of water that comes out of my eyes, now and then.

I do as I please, Monsieur Beauchamp, and believe me, what I do is always well done.

Today is just one of those days the sun comes out to really humiliate you.

I think there is a metaphysical problem of the relation between mind and body. Thinking that there is no metaphysical dimension to the problem is an error.

People who are making films today are too concerned with mechanics - technical things instead of feeling.

I think that all actors find they go down and then they come back up if you work on your craft. They come back up to the top and then they go back down and they come back up and they go back down.

I don't want to give up acting - it's what I am.

People can drink with their eyes; I can eat with my nose.

A tan is the best accessory for any outfit!

You must find your own quiet center of life, and write from that to the world.
