“Will I ever forgive the British media for what they've done to me? No.”
“We, as a party, are colour-blind.”
“Potentially, I would be very interested in being a shock jock, though Ofcom might be tricky. Some of the American stuff is appalling, wild stuff, crazy conspiracy theories.”
“But there's certainly only one thing I could never agree with George Galloway on. He's a teetotaller and wants to close all the bars in the House of Commons. That is just not on.”
“There are a lot of great people in UKIP.”
“The real question is, at the end of the day, do we want to run our country? Are we proud of who we are? Are we happy to be just a star on somebody else's flag, or do we want to be an independent nation?”
“I can't think of a single example of two mature democracies going to war with each other in the 20th century. It's where there was an absence of democracy and a breakdown of democracy that we finish up with these wars.”
“When I'm finished with politics, I'll have a richer life. I'd like to go to the theatre.”
“It's about businesses nervous about taking on school leavers because of a mass of red tape. It's about health and safety regulations and green fines.”
“That Obama creature - loathsome individual - he couldn't stand our country.”
“I believe that the ability to talk to people and have them feeling engaged rather than patronised isn't something you can learn. It's a bit like being able to sing or play cricket. You can either do it, or you can't.”
“We have a Conservative leader that believes in green taxes, that won't bring back grammar schools, that believes in continuing with total open-door migration from eastern Europe and refuses to give us a referendum on the EU.”
“Donald Trump believes in nation-state democracy; Hillary Clinton used the E.U. as a prototype for a larger global union. Donald Trump believes in sensible immigration controls.”
“I have been unsure, from the start, what the Occupy movement was all about, although I did suspect that it was just fatuous, anti-enterprise, left-wingery.”
“I've stood down as UKIP leader. I'm not responsible for these people anymore.”
“People in business tend to have an instinctive reaction to people.”
“The only people to whom myself and the immigration issue is toxic are to the well-heeled committed Remain voters, the sort of people who live in the Hannan and Carswell world.”
“I spent 17 years inside an institution trying to effectively destroy it; can you imagine how popular I am in Brussels? I am the most hated figure that's ever been in that place. Every time I get up to speak, hundreds of people boo and jeer.”
“My desperation for UKIP to do well meant that I really packed the diary and the day in a way that, frankly, wasn't very bright.”
“Greece isn't a democracy now it's run through a troika - three foreign officials that fly into Athens airport and tell the Greeks what they can and can't do.”
