Kenneth Robert Livingstone

• "I'm in exactly the same position as everybody else who has a small business. I mean I get loads of money, all from different sources. You give it to your accountant. They manage it.“
• "I do the gardening.“
• "I came into politics because I wished to change things. You can't do that by lying to people you have to educate, and persuade, and carry them with you - and it's often a long haul.“
• "I loathe and detest all this trivialisation of politics.“
• "Politics is not a healthy lifestyle.“
• "Short of being prime minister there isn't a better job in British politics than running London.“
• "I do explicitly see Jewish people as a people - not either a religion or an ethnicity but a people.“
• "I undertake that, in the exercise of my functions of that office I will have regard to any guidance with respect to ethical standards issued by the secretary of state under Section 66 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999.“
• "I was a weedy kid, not like one of those working-class men who can accommodate not being academically clever by physical strength and prowess.“
• "Most kids don't get to go their parents' wedding.“
