More quotes by Boris Johnson
My chances of being PM are about as good as the chances of finding Elvis on Mars, or my being reincarnated as an olive.
Boris Johnson
The dreadful truth is that when people come to see their MP, they have run out of better ideas.
Boris Johnson
Do you seriously propose that they are going to be so insane as to allow tariffs to be imposed. The EU is, I'm afraid a job destroying engine. You can see it all across southern Europe, you can see it, alas, in our country.
Boris Johnson
We need to remember that we can't compete endlessly with other nations that set their income taxes substantially lower than ours. They will attract jobs, and investment. They may generate more tax - and they may even persuade their tennis champs to run that extra half yard
Boris Johnson
I have as much chance of becoming Prime Minister as of being decapitated by a frisbee or of finding Elvis.
Boris Johnson
I think it'd be disgraceful if a chap wasn't allowed to have a bit of fun in Las Vegas. The real scandal would be if you went to Vegas and you didn't misbehave in some trivial way.
Boris Johnson
I am hoping very much to get re-elected but it is going to be a tough fight.
Boris Johnson
The volunteering spirit of Londoners is part of what makes this the best big city on earth.
Boris Johnson
All the people I talk to, increasingly, can see that the emperor has got no clothes. The case for leaving [the EU] is now overwhelming.
Boris Johnson
Humanity would have plunged into a new dark age of absolutely frightening and appalling characteristics without Churchill.
Boris Johnson
It is easy to make promises - it is hard work to keep them.
Boris Johnson
Life isn't like coursework, baby. It's one damn essay crisis after another.
Boris Johnson
I dont see why people are so snooty about Channel Five. It has some respectable documentaries about the Second World War. It also devotes considerable airtime to investigations into lap-dancing, and other related and vital subjects
Boris Johnson
As a Scot Gordon Brown will find it hard to convince people in England he should be prime minister.
Boris Johnson
When Cameron's Conservatives come to power it will be a golden age for cyclists and an Elysium of cycle lanes, bike racks, and sharia law for bike thieves. And I hope that cycling in London will become almost Chinese in its ubiquity.
Boris Johnson
London is the sporting capital of the world. I say to the Chinese and I say to the world, ping pong is coming home.
Boris Johnson
Nothing excites compassion, in friend and foe alike, as much as the sight of you ker-splonked on the Tarmac with your propeller buried six feet under.
Boris Johnson
My ideal world is, we're there, we're in the EU, trying to make it better.
Boris Johnson
My speaking style was criticised by no less an authority than Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was a low moment, my friends, to have my rhetorical skills denounced by a monosyllabic Austrian cyborg.
Boris Johnson
The next Tory leader would have to unify his party and ensure that Britain stood tall in the world.
