We just seem to have lost all our morals and principles and values these days.
When you're prepared, you're more confident. When you have a strategy, you're more comfortable.
I don't answer the phone. I get the feeling whenever I do that there will be someone on the other end.

By my count, the Deputy Prime Minister has sworn an oath of loyalty and service to Her Majesty no fewer than four times in the last two years, yet he has used his position as a minister of the Crown as a podium from which to rail against our history and our heritage.

The litmus test I always use for myself is: "Okay, if you won 20 million tomorrow in the lottery would you still being doing the same thing you are doing now with your life, Dough? The answer is "yes". I'm always very conscious of that.
