I'm not someone who dwells upon past events, taking the view that life is too short

I couldn't imagine a day without music. It relaxes and stimulates me in equal measure and I hate the sound of silence - the concept, I mean, not the track by Simon and Garfunkel.
Charles Kennedy
Image
I will go out of this world feet first with my Lib Dem membership card in my pocket.
Charles Kennedy
Image
The quicker we get rid of the lobby system the better for all of us. I don't think in this day and age it is tenable to have these nods and winks, and on-the-record and off-the-record briefings.

Charles Kennedy
Image
If you were to describe me as teetotal, on behalf of my constituency I'd have to sue that would lose me every vote in the Highlands.
Charles Kennedy
Image
I have never once been persuaded as to the causal link between the Iraqi regime, al-Qaeda and September 11. I do believe the impact of war under these circumstances is bound to weaken the international coalition against terrorism itself.
Charles Kennedy
Image
Further Education should be about the ability to learn, not the ability to pay - everyone who is able should have the opportunity, regardless of their family background. I don't want to see students struggling with huge debts or frightened off even going to university in the first place.
Charles Kennedy
Image
I am genuinely not an over-the-top kind of person about politics or anything else.
Charles Kennedy
Image
I don't want a headline saying 'Kennedy suggests this or implies that.'
Charles Kennedy

I think that former leaders are best seen occasionally and not too often heard - particularly on the subject of their successors!
Charles Kennedy
