George Osborne

I've learned to be true to yourself, stick to the big arguments, don't get distracted by the everyday kerfuffle that is in the nature of any democratic system.

I don't want to watch 'Newsnight.' I just don't understand those politicians who genuinely want to watch it for pleasure.

I want to see families with lower energy bills.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs.

I've worked with a lot of really fine actors, both on stage and on screen. The level of their game lifts me up and brings the level of my game up to theirs. Always. It's like a constant upgrade.
