Quotes

  • [on a dinner with a Maori tribe] The good news is that I was having dinner with Ngati Porou as opposed to their neighbouring iwi, which is Tuhoe, in which case I would have been dinner, which wouldn't have been quite so attractive.
  • [on having another child] I'd be extremely worried because I've had a vasectomy.
  • We have been given the trust and goodwill of New Zealanders. I do not take that trust for granted, and I never will.
  • Sunday night I always cook if I can - if I'm home, I always cook.
  • It's possible to spend every waking hour here on the ninth floor and not get out of the office. And this isn't the real world in here. And contrary to public opinion, I'm not incredibly poll-driven. They are an ongoing indicator of how we are going, but I take the feedback I get on the street as being the most important.
