“I was a teenage godmother.”

Like Indiana Jones, I don’t like snakes – though that might lead some to ask why I’m in politics.

Dealing with a simple burglary can require 1000 process steps and 70 forms to be completed as a case goes through the Criminal Justice System. That can’t be right.

It’s only by investing properly in our defense that we can ensure we’re properly equipped to face our shared challenges together.

My pitch is very simple. I’m Theresa May and I think I’m the best person to be prime minister of this country.

Any attempt to wriggle, especially from leadership candidates who campaigned to leave the EU by focusing on immigration, will be unacceptable to the public.

People have to make journeys, what we want is people to have alternatives in public transport so that they can make a choice about the sort of way in which they’re going to travel.

I’m a first-past-the-post person, and always have been.

I think it’s important to do a good job and not to feel that you’ve got to make grand gestures, but just to get on and deliver.

I want a counter-terrorism regime that is proportionate, focused and transparent.

I’m not sure I should reveal the sources of my clothes.

One of the issues that has been an issue in how we deal with net migration up until now is that we haven’t been able to have any control over freedom of movement from the European Union. We will have that control in the future once we leave the EU.

I know I’m not a showy politician. I don’t go drinking in parliament’s bars. I don’t wear my heart on my sleeve, I just get on with the job in front of me and you can judge me by my record.

The rules that the United States introduce will be obviously be rules for the United States, but I’m very clear about the opportunities I expect everyone in the UK to have. I will be representing the interests of everyone in the UK on a whole range of things we will talk about.

The concept of doing something with child benefit, of changing the rules around child benefit, is something that has been being discussed for some time.

I’m sick and tired of government ministers in this Labour government who simply blame other people when things go wrong.

I am the only candidate capable of delivering these three things as prime minister, and tonight it is clear that I am also the only one capable of drawing support from the whole of the Conservative party.

My advice to teens is to try and do something that scares you every day because it’s the only way you can test how far you can really go.

I didn’t watch ‘The A-Team’ movie. I’m an artist. You can’t re-paint a Rembrandt. You can’t duplicate that; I don’t care who you get.

By the way, I have trouble listening to what [Cheney] says sometimes because of the blood that drips from his teeth while he’s talking, but my response is this.

For a while in my teens, I was sure I had it. It was about getting to heaven. If heaven existed and lasted forever, then a mere lifetime spent scrupulously following orders was a small investment for an infinite payoff.

I pissed away over ten million dollars.

I was obsessed with those films in my teens. I remember watching ‘Badlands’ and being amazed that there were these scenes in which nobody said anything and the silence told the whole story.

I have been in teen shows for years, so doing that stuff – kissing – is kind of commonplace and not a big deal. It was way more cool just because it was Meg Ryan.

I became a man. Before that I was a little boy.
