The prime minister says he has a vision for change, well put that to the people of the 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.

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.

If we left the European Union, it would be a one-way ticket, not a return. So we will have time for a proper, reasoned debate. At the end of that debate you, the British people, will decide.

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.

I like democracy. I like to be able to throw out my political leaders when they get things wrong, and we don't get to do that with Brussels.

I am not a British isolationist. I don't just want a better deal for Britain. I want a better deal for Europe too.

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.

A lot of the conflict you have in your life exists simply because you're not living in alignment

God did not just create you to be a nice person and eat hamburgers until you die

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia and forget about those stupid little things.

Ideas are a dime a dozen. People who execute them are not.

I wanted to write about my mother as she should have been if she had not been messed up by World War I.

Rome ... at its most decadent, had never thought of hiring an actor to go through the motions of being an emperor while the Praetorian Guard ruled.

The history of popular music is littered with great partnerships. Rodgers had his Hammerstein, Lennon had his McCartney, and Lloyd Webber had... his photocopier.

The basic idea was that if a country would put its economy as an integrated piece of the world system, that it would benefit from that with economic growth. I concur with that basic view.

Strange that theory and practice so seldom should accord.

I have the general philosophy of creating the future you want to see.
