More quotes by Boris Johnson
Never in my life did I think I would be congratulated by Mick Jagger for achieving anything.
Boris Johnson
Since January 1993 there have been 27 other countries not in the EU that have done better than the UK at exporting goods into the single market.
Boris Johnson
I have as much chance of becoming Prime Minister as of being decapitated by a frisbee or of finding Elvis.
Boris Johnson
These days we dimly believe that the Second World War was won with Russian blood and American money and though that is in some ways true, it is also true that, without Churchill, Hitler would almost certainly have won.
Boris Johnson
I love swimming in rivers, and well remember once jumping in at Chiswick.
Boris Johnson
You are part of our Great British family.
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
Some people think that it [Brexit] is the end of the world. It's not. On the contrary, it's a massive opportunity for this country.
Boris Johnson
If gay marriage was OK ... then I saw no reason in principle why a union should not be consecrated between three men, as well as two men or indeed three men and a dog.
Boris Johnson
Our friends in America will be at the front of the queue for trade deals.
Boris Johnson
I think it's absolutely amazing and how the Remain side have the cheek to come and tell us that we improve our security by staying in this organisation I do not understand.
Boris Johnson
If we judged everybody by the stupid, unguarded things they blurt out to their nearest and dearest, then we wouldn't ever get anywhere.
Boris Johnson
I want London to be a competitive, dynamic place to come to work.
Boris Johnson
Some people play the piano, some do Sudoku, some watch television, some people go out to dinner parties. I write books.
Boris Johnson
I want to offer particular congratulations to Andrea Leadsom on her stunning achievement. She is now well placed to win and replace the absurd gloom in some quarters with a positive, confident and optimistic approach, not just to Europe, but to government all round.
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
But if people want to swim in the Thames, if they want to take their lives into their own hands, then they should be able to do so with all the freedom and exhilaration of our woad-painted ancestors.
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
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.
