Whether it is kids carrying knives because they are in gangs or kids carrying knives because they are afraid of gangs, it is the gang culture that underpins the problem.

The root causes of the gang culture lie right across the policy spectrum - but they can all be found in the same areas geographically: worklessness; family breakdown; educational failure and addiction.

We must give individuals the opportunity to show what they are capable of.

The state has no right to cast people aside because they are sick or disabled.

I think it's fair to set limits on housing benefit, so that people on welfare do not end up able to live in better areas than those doing the right thing by finding work.

I think it's fair to set limits, so that people cannot receive more than the equivalent of the national average wage while living on benefits.

When you talk to unemployed young people you hear one thing above all others - if you haven't got experience how can you get a job? But if you don't have a job, how can you get experience?

Prison is not meant to be comfortable. It's not meant to be somewhere anyone would ever want to go back to.

I want to see prisoners getting support that is every bit as good as that which they would receive from the NHS in the community.

We take back control of our laws and Britain will be a proud independent nation again.

European businesses will want to retain free-trade access to the U.K. - their biggest export market.

All too often, ambulance-chasing has been simple fraud. People are encouraged to launch a claim for whiplash when no one has been injured. Phone calls ask you to claim for accidents that never happened.

All too often politicians sign treaties in a hurry, without reading them properly, and without understanding where they will lead.

If the law is wrong, it is for politicians to sort it out.

The Human Rights Convention was written by Conservatives in the aftermath of the Second World War. It was designed to combat the risk of another Holocaust, and to try to stop people being sent to prison camps without trial.

Britain cannot afford to allow a culture of Left-wing-dominated, single-issue activism to hold back our country from investing in infrastructure and new sources of energy and from bringing down the cost of our welfare state.

We need society, and particularly the victims of crime, to believe justice is being done.

The typical prisoner has numerous brushes with the law before finally being sent behind bars. Each year thousands of cautions are issued to people who will come back to crime again.

Police on the street need the discretion to deal quickly and easily with routine misdemeanours which need to be recorded but need not take up court time - and where there is no doubt about guilt.

During the late 1940s, Europe was a pretty bleak place.

It's not good enough to announce 'I know my rights' if you aren't prepared to accept that you have responsibilities to society and your fellow citizens as well. And if people don't live up to those responsibilities to our society, they will not be able to hide behind their rights.

The SNP talks a lot - but they have proved that they cannot deliver.

Scotland is a great country. It's integral to the U.K.

The trouble with the SNP is they want power without responsibility. They do not want to take difficult decisions.

I want to be the Tough Justice Secretary.

I'm very mindful of the need to ensure we have a criminal justice system in which people have confidence.

The railways should be run in the best interest of passengers and, overall, taxpayer's money should be spent improving the network, not subsiding it.

Unlike Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party, I am not ideologically obsessed with the structure of our rail network; for me it is a matter of practicality.

Travel costs should not be a barrier to opportunity for our young people.

It is free enterprise and the determination to succeed which generates opportunity and wealth for our society, and in doing so provides the money we need to deliver the high quality public services that we all want.

If you stop investing in a modern road system to give an unaffordable electoral bung to new voters, then the investors who could create great jobs for them will be doing so for the younger generation in another country instead.

An economic strategy built around hiking taxes for business means one thing: fewer jobs.

Visit any of the fastest growing parts of the world and you will find investment in infrastructure.

Britain has always been a nation with a strong global focus. We have influenced change and built strong ties all round the world.

It's been a long road. I've been cut, I've been all over the place, but my mentality has never changed.

A big part of that quarterback-receiver relationship is communication. You've got to be on the same page because if you're not, it just doesn't work. Then you're kind of guessing.

When you have a dream and you believe in yourself and you have people believe in you, you just do whatever it takes to try to achieve that.

This game is ups and downs. It's ebb and flow. It's never going to be high the entire time. It's never going to be low for the entire season. That's part of being a professional and dealing with the opportunities you get throughout the year.

I mean I've been around a lot of places and there's been a lot of guys that - every single team that I've ever been on, I really try to take advantage of the older veterans that are there, try to learn about their process, how they take care of their bodies, how they study, how they watch film.

What we can do is control what we can control.

Monmouth was important to me because that was the first stepping stone. I am very grateful to the Monmouth program for taking a chance on a four-year lacrosse player who had a year of eligibility left. It was an awesome experience to go back there and play football again, especially since it was close to home.

I always go back to who I am as a player, and what got me into the league. It wasn't by demanding the ball or anything. It was about doing what's best for the team, doing my job the best I can, showing up on film and making the plays when they come my way during games. That's what I focus on every single week.

As a football player, as an athlete, as a competitor, that dream of playing the Super Bowl... I was never going to lose that.

It's all about opportunities in this league, and when you get the opportunities, you have to make the most of them.

Winning football games is why we're in this business.

I didn't think I'd be starting a NFL game.

I can control my effort, how hard I work and taking advantage of the opportunities.

Charlotte's great.

You never take a single day in this league for granted because it can be over in a second.

If I do my job, take advantage of every opportunity I get out there and be in the right spot, the plays will come. When it does come, I've got to take advantage of it.
