“It is a fundamental principle of democracy that citizens obey the law ...” — Ann Widdecombe Quote

It is a fundamental principle of democracy that citizens obey the law or incur whatever penalty applies to its breaking.

Men are easier to get on with than women. They tend not to make emotional demands on you.

I'd rather form my own party than ever join Ukip. We could call it the Widdy Mob. I'm joking.

I don't analyse myself.

I shall not miss the hectoring and backbiting and the lack of generosity towards fallen foes, but I will miss the sheer clubability of parliament. If one fancies a coffee or a meal or a drink then it is always possible to find at least one person out of 646 whose company is congenial.

Working hard to fulfill a dream or instinct and learning over time it doesn't work, doesn't mean a career is over and a reputation killed. When a reputation is killed, it's when failure comes as a result of loss of integrity or judgement... breaking of laws.

My family and I survived Hurricane Katrina in 2005; we left my grandmother's flooding house, were refused shelter by a white family, and took refuge in trucks in an open field during a Category Five hurricane. I saw an entire town demolished, people fighting over water, breaking open caskets searching for something that could help them survive.

For me, it's not about breaking big in Hollywood, but having interesting experiences.

I think 'Breaking Bad' is incredible.
