I feel like I have had the most amazing life in my public service.

People can judge me for what I've done. And I think when somebody's out in the public eye, that's what they do. So I'm fully comfortable with who I am, what I stand for, and what I've always stood for.

It is a fact that around the world the elites of every country are making money.

You have to test your ideas in a public forum.
