If people are concerned about my house and where I live again it's much more of a reflection on them than it is on me.

I'm not terribly focused on whether I even could ever become the Leader of the Liberal Party or the Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party in the future.

I think any good government will target on the finishing date, that is, the polling day and make sure that their strategy is strong and in place to get them successfully re-elected.

So this is all part of a free society. People are entitled to hold whatever view they want, and the media can report things how they wish.

Yeah, well I'm not aspiring to be the Prime Minister.

Well goodness knows, goodness knows what historians will write.

The issues of wireless versus wireline gets very messy. And that's really an FCC issue, not a Google issue.

A guy isn't the only thing that will make me happy. If I never find romance or love, that will be okay. It's what I want, but it doesn't define me.

This is the Zen approach: nothing is there to be done. There is nothing to do. One has just to be. Have a rest and be ordinary and be natural.

The first thing to say about politics is that politics is not the first thing.
