My main capital isn't the money. I respect myself; I respect my country.

With respect to Euro-Atlantic integration, we have to realize that we need to normalize the relationships with our neighbors, and especially with Russia.

Any private security is a joke in a country where you're up against your own government.

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

I was forced to come into politics because Saakashvili had destroyed the opposition. I had a choice either to leave the country, because it was dangerous to live here, or to go into politics.

I did not like formal meetings, because they took away my freedom. I just liked to spend time with my friends, where I could be myself and did not need to don a mask.
