I have not been more robust towards female rather than male assembly members and I do not believe I have been remotely sexist.

I've always sort of thought that politics was a high and noble calling and a good thing to do.

London is a fantastic creator of jobs - but many of these jobs are going to people who don't originate in this country.

The job of mayor of London is unbelievably taxing, particularly in the run-up to the Olympics.

In a true democracy, there has to be a line between deliberative debate and mob rule. Trump has crossed the line, and much of the media has exacerbated the problem by treating his remarks as entertainment, effectively encouraging his competition to do the same.

People are even more wary of politicians and they are realizing that democracy isn't just about putting a cross on a ballot every four years, it's about deciding what you want and fighting for it.

Everybody that's trying to get anything progressive done in this country knows that the biggest barrier is getting money out of politics.

We've never been as active politically as we have been as artists. But politics always brush up against the arts, oh, about every four years in this country.
