[2010; on Desert Island Discs] I have a confession to make which is I do like the occasional cigarette... I can just imagine as the sun's going down and you know I've got the beard flowing down to my knees and I'm thinking what on earth am I going to, you know, while away the time... puffing away on a cigarette would be quite nice.

It should be entirely unremarkable and completely uncontroversial that two people, whoever they are, want to express and celebrate their love for each other. Getting to this point has not been easy. There has been a lot of anger. There have been vicious words and, in some cases, prejudice has been exposed. So today when Britain celebrates, let's ensure that prejudices of the past are well and truly beaten. Hide

If you're one of the first same-sex couples getting married this weekend, and you've got a spare seat, you might want to invite the likes of Norman Tebbit or Nigel Farage.

[on supporting gay marriage, despite not including it in the Liberal Democrat election manifesto] It's just a simple idea that if two people love each other, it doesn't matter what sex they are, it doesn't matter if they're the same sex, if they love each other and they want to show that commitment towards each other through marriage, they should be able to do so and the fact that from this weekend same sex couples will be able to demonstrate their love to each other through marriage just as much as any other couple I think is a great, great step forward.
