In my position as prime minister, I bear the highest responsibility for decisions.

I will do what the Prime Minister asks me to do; that is my consistent approach to politics and to service.

Being a prime minister is a very demanding job. And as long as I have the strength, I will continue to do this and be of benefit to my country.

I will do exactly as the Prime Minister asks me.

What do you do if you are asked to do a job, first by the Prime Minister, and then by the King? How can you refuse?

Every prime minister ... has the responsibility to provide security for his people.

Your personality as the prime minister feeds through to what you emphasise, and what you don't, how you'll handle a situation - whether you've got the combination of intelligence or instincts to adapt and to make good decisions.

Of course I'd have loved to be Prime Minister. But I'm not nursing a grievance.

I would like to become the prime minister, do the job for two years, and then leave and devote myself to public work.
