I take the teachings of the Catholic Church seriously.
The Catholic Church's teachings are authoritative. There is a moral absolute on abortion - that it is wrong.
I went into investments out of interest and thought I knew a little. The longer I've been involved, the less I realise I'd known.
I've never put all my eggs in one basket, and I've always been cautious.
One doesn't need money to run for Parliament, but it is undoubtedly expensive.
When I'm overseas, I suspect I look like Mr. Bean.
I was left £50 when I was ten by a fairly distant cousin, which my father invested in GEC shares on my behalf. I became interested in the market and was given some more shares by my father, which is when I began looking to see how the shares were performing and learning how to read company reports, balance sheets, and so on in order to gauge that.
It is of considerable importance that politicians stick to their commitments or do not make such commitments in the first place.
We need to be free to do deals with the rest of the world.
I would always vote for Tory candidates in the United Kingdom, and I would probably be Republican if I was an American.
I'm not interested in the past, I'm interested in the future. Europe is past.
The E.U. is a backward-looking project based on an economic model of the 20th century.
If we want to change a law, we can do that in Parliament. That is a democratic right that has often been taken from the E.U.
I can't see the point in being in politics if you're not yourself. If you're simply interested in implementing other people's policies, then you should become a civil servant. If you have ideas and some form of ideology, then it's exciting because you can argue forward.
I trust my electors. I see them in weekly meetings. I'm their advocate, I'm there to take up their case. I'm not there to decide whether they've got a good case or a bad case. And I think that if you trust people, they're more likely to trust you back.
I think it's true - economically, you want to bake a bigger cake rather than slicing up an existing cake differently.
You alleviate poverty by trickle-down economics.
To have charitable support given by people voluntarily to support their fellow citizens, I think, is rather uplifting and shows what a good, compassionate country we are.
I would rather my constituents were warm and prosperous than cold and impoverished as we are overtaken by emerging markets who understandably put people before polar bears.
Meeting someone does not mean you're endorsing them.
