Do I get up every morning and ask: am I doing the things that I believe in and am I doing them for the best possible motives? Yes. Unambiguously yes. – Nick Clegg
You have a political and media elite who have an idiom by which they describe politics. Its highly, highly polarised. Its right, left, red, blue, up, down, victorious, crushed. – Nick Clegg
When I became leader, I made very clear I was not going to choose the easy life. I have always taken risks. I dont like comfort-zone politics. – Nick Clegg
I dont want to clip on the armour every morning. Ive seen some politicians do this and they get a bit mangled and bitter. I just refuse to do that. I refuse to be angry or bitter or complain, and I remain open. I may sometimes be a bit too open but Im not going to change that one bit. – Nick Clegg
