It would be wrong to suggest that Scotland could not be another such successful, independent country.

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.

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.

Seize the hour.

Beauty, to me is about being comfortable in your own skin.

No one is exempt from the rule that learning occurs through recognition of error.
