I want a smaller government, yes, but I want a government that will be fair.

What is best for the Beauce is what is best for Canada.

My party will do nothing on climate change because environment, it's a shared jurisdiction, and provinces, they have programs for that, and so I'll let provinces decide what they're going to do to fight climate change.

I think it is not important to have the free trade agreement with China.

While the other parties look at polls and focus groups to decide what they stand for, and pander to every special interest group, we follow our principles.

We must give less money to these provinces, like my own province of Quebec, and give them the right incentive to develop their own natural resources and their economy.

We must go back and we must be sure that our immigrants will be well-integrated into our society, and the best way to do that is to have more economic immigrants, less refugees a little bit and less reunufication of families.

I can understand why immigrants would want to bring the rest of their extended family here, including older ones who will benefit from our health-care system.

I don't care one bit about people's race or skin colour.

You can be of any ethnic background or faith and be a Canadian if you share fundamental Canadian values, learn about our history and culture, and integrate in our society.

Everyone who knows me, they know that I am not a socialist.

I am not a communist.

The People's Party, I am working for the people and we want to put the power back in people.

I like free markets, I like competition.

Yes, I worked in Montreal. I worked there for 20 years... I came back to Beauce in 2006 to represent the Beaucerons.

I agree that we need to have real temporary foreign workers, who are working in the fields, picking fruits.

A few things make a person stylish: honesty, imagination with a sprinkling of humour. I still keep an eye on trends, but I don't follow them any more.

I have recurring dreams about losing my temper, which become quite violent. I dread to think what that says about me.

We take things at face value, don't we? You form an opinion about something immediately, but you ought to step back a bit. Take in the vista first.

I am an actor. I love acting, and I absolutely love what I do, but I don't want it to be every waking hour.

I actually used to compete at show-jumping when I was a young'un.

I think you can tell a lot by someone's footwear - cowboy boots would put me off, as would a man in Ugg boots or Crocs.

The films, the music, the telly that I like is always a little bit more on the margins.

In my 20s, I was going round seeing agents who were patronising because I was fat and a girl, which was a double whammy. I knew what it was to feel out-of-the-loop.

I'd rather go down with an almighty bang than play it safe.

I'm a big techphobe. Someone else helps me run my Twitter; I wouldn't be able to trust myself.

For me, politics is about passion. It doesn't matter what you know; it's your actions that count. I meet people who say they're socialists, and that's not what they carry out in their everyday life.

I watch 'Take Me Out' mainly for Paddy McGuinness. When we were younger, we worked together as lifeguards at the Bolton Leisure Centre.

When we were doing 'Criminal Justice,' they were filming 'Clash of the Titans' nearby and we kept nicking off to their catering tent and going, 'Look what they've got!'

I get angry about the way women are forced and bullied into what the male ideal is.

I get easily distracted and become a bit of a giddy giggler. I'm not good at taking myself seriously, and laughing at myself helps ease the pressure.

Sometimes it feels like the feminist movement never happened.

We still have an underclass in this country who are constantly ignored and vilified.

After my mum and dad got divorced, I was entitled to free school dinners, but my mum said, 'Under no circumstances,' because she was proud.

I left the North when I was 21 to go to drama school in London, and I stayed there 12 years.

I was a tomboy. In my clubbing days, my friend Lucy Davies-Hunt - half-Iranian, looked like Yasmin Le Bon - could wear catsuits, while I was the one in the sweatshirt, jeans, and Fila boots.

If I feel like if there's a few too many people on that path with me, then I want to jump off and find another one.

We shouldn't still be asking, 'Have you got children? Why've you not got children? Ooh, you must have children!' Bog off, d'you know what I mean?

I think, as a woman, you've got to make so many sacrifices.

I went to the Old Bailey, and I met a judge, and I was petrified, but they were like, 'Oh, you're an actor, well, great.' It was a bit like we're cut from the same cloth a little bit.

I do, in a strange way, care deeply what people think.

My favourite outfit is a giant bunny suit. I wore it in a music video for 'Are You One?' by the Chanteuse & the Crippled Claw and got to keep it.

If I dress up, I try to wear something that's still a bit me, but then I regret it when I see that everyone else has dressed up more and looks amazing.

I'm quite cautious in most areas of my life, but I'm always happy to gamble when it comes to acting. I'm not frightened of falling on my face.

Music is a huge inspiration to my style. I first got into it when I was 10: the new wave mod scene.

I'm always an advocate of 'acting is reacting,' which can be difficult.

I get very irate with actors when they talk about how distressing it all is. I mean, it's only acting. Please.

I remember when New Labour got in. I was at Salford Tech studying drama, and everyone was jumping up and down, and I was so upset, I went to a phone box and called my granddad.

As I've got older, I've got slightly more fussy. You've got less time; you need to use it wisely.

Pay in the acting world hasn't kept up with inflation.
