I liked it when we had ugly politicians who droned on about issues.

Well, on lots of small things we could have done better, but on all the big things we called it right. You should make less mistakes as you get older, and I became a councillor back in 1971, so if by this stage in politics I'm making lots of big mistakes, then I shouldn't be here.

I refuse not to have a sense of humour.

You lose power in Britain and you are just Joe Public again.
Ken Livingstone
Image
I would like to sound like James Mason. I reckon if I'd had a better voice I could have been prime minister. It is the most irritating voice in public life.

Working with the Jewish community is essential to me and what I stand for. I do explicitly see Jewish people as a people - not either a religion or an ethnicity but a people. The Tories take Jewish London for granted. I will not.

Everyone changes all the time.
Ken Livingstone
Image
I've always told the truth. I've often been wrong - but I've never knowingly lied. Not in public life. Because I don't see the need to.

It is all very well for people with fine arts degrees, but for ordinary people like myself, we want a statue to look like the person.

I think George Bush is the most corrupt American president since Harding in the Twenties. He is not the legitimate president. This really is a completely unsupportable government and I look forward to it being overthrown as much as I looked forward to Saddam Hussein being overthrown.
