I grew up thinking that if I wanted to go be prime minister, I could.

I've been fortunate when in government to have a car at my disposal, which takes away the nightmare of getting a taxi.

What do you prefer? A prime minister obsessed with being popular, or a prime minister who does the job?

I have a driver's licence, but the truth is that I hardly ever drive. I prefer to get around by taxi.

I have as much chance of becoming Prime Minister as of being decapitated by a frisbee or of finding Elvis.

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.

Being prime minister is a lonely job... you cannot lead from the crowd.

No woman in my time will be prime minister or chancellor or foreign secretary - not the top jobs. Anyway, I wouldn't want to be prime minister; you have to give yourself 100 percent.
