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.

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

I want London to be the most cycle-friendly city on Earth, and I want more people to be happy and safe on bicycles.

The entire political elite has mismanaged the Indian economy for the last 50 years. You cannot solve a crisis that is borne as a symptom of mismanagement in just five minutes or in a week. It will involve significant sacrifices and pain, and I doubt that in India there is the political will to face the music.

I've been avoiding journalists my whole life.

Actors create a fantastic lifestyle thinking they're going to be able to maintain it. Then they can't get work or have to start taking work that doesn't suit them.

I mean, I can actually say goodbye to the game of golf, never hit another golf shot the rest of my life and I'd be happy because I can get back in life without any rotation.
