I want to be the candidate placed on the ballot by the people, not the party.

I like candidates who tell me something that is going to make a difference to me.

The people say I have to change? Well, the people have to tell me what I should do to change.

In politics there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers, and then there are those like John McCain who use their careers to promote change.

There is a real diversity of talent and background on the A list so as to better reflect our society in all walks. There are people who have been candidates before, Councillors, Doctors, business leaders, charity campaigners.

I can't change everything by myself but I can be one of the people who are trying to change the situation.

To make real change, you have to be well anchored - not only in the belief that it can be done, but also in some pretty real ways about who you are and what you can do.

I want to change a lot.

It's not about changing people; it's sometimes about changing a situation. How can we build an even better situation for them?

I'm a big believer if you want to change people's minds or get someone to vote for you, either a voter or a colleague, you've got to first get their attention.
