I hate rodents. I mean, the House of Commons is completely infested. I will stand on a chair if I see one of the things.
If I do feel scared I deliberately challenge myself not to feel scared.
I have been the only female minister in every government department I've worked in.
Nobody wants to be in a room or their business to be funded because they're a woman. They don't want to be discriminated against because they're a woman.
Women are not going to start businesses because we tell them we don't have enough people of a certain group. People want to start businesses because it's a way of fulfilling their ambitions and dreams.
I think there's a danger in politics of being too risk-averse.
I didn't become a Tory just to become part of a managerial group who wanted to run the country... I want to see popular free-market Conservatism where barriers are broken down, people have got more opportunities but keep more of their own money.
I think we've got caught up in the weeds of Brexit, and... the approach has been to try and compromise and split the difference. And that to me is not what Brexit is about.
I admire Peter Mandleson's chutzpah and the way he transformed the Labour party but not his dubious ideas about Europe and industrial policy.
I'm a big fan of political editor Allegra Stratton.
Election campaigns always have to have colour and excitement and interest. People want to know about the details of politicians, what they like doing in their spare time, about their families. I think that's human.
It's absolutely right that we scrutinise the leaders who after all are going to be in a position of great power.
I love Britain. It really worries me, the prospect of Ed Miliband propped up by Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP and what that could do to our country. It's absolutely right that we highlight to voters that potential risk.
I want Britain to lead the world in food and farming and to do that we need enough productive agricultural land.
I'm very concerned that a lot of our land is being taken up with solar farms.
I was Margaret Thatcher in the school election during the 1983 General Election.
We spent a lot of time talking about politics at home. We went to the camp at Greenham Common.
All of my parents' friends worked in public sector jobs. The teachers at my school were quite often card-carrying members of the Labour Party and it just was not part of the culture to approve of what the government was doing.
I have to admit I don't like pizza. I love it. And I am prepared to do literally anything to get my hands on a slice.
I don't like tokenism. I don't like the idea that somebody should just appear at a press conference or in a media interview because they are a woman.
