You know I don't really have faith in politicians - this is quite a sleazy business. But there is no law which says that all politicians will turn out to be scumbags.

I think it's a terrible shame that politics has become show business.

You can't put a load of rockstars up on a stage and expect to wipe out global poverty. That's ludicrous.

When you see government leaders really bullying business, you know that government's economic policy is failing. They get angry and they get desperate.

BBC TV gets hold of an idea and beats it to death until we're all heartily sick of it. They buy people without thinking what they're going to do with them. It's the wrong way around. What they should be doing is employing really good ideas people to come up with good ideas.

Even when people are rich and successful on TV shows, there's always some trouble - you have to poke holes in them, throw them out of a job, put a pie in the face.

The TV business is soul crushing, talent destroying and human being destroying.

Governments are run by people. People can be bad.

The government is so out of control. It is so bloated and infested with fraud and deceit and corruption and abuse of power.
