Nicola Sturgeon

My God, that woman is obsessed with me. I won't spend as much time thinking about her as she does about me.

I'm not at war with JK Rowling. She seems to be at war with me.

I’d previously said that it might happen within 20 years, but I think it might be closer than that.

I can't see me ever going back into elected politics.

I'm as certain as I can be about anything in politics that I will live in an independent Scotland.

If I make a point at all, that is relevant to my own party as much as it is to anybody else, it's stand up for what you believe in.

I will never be a member of any other party – ever.

I am SNP to my core.

The SNP hasn't changed its position on oil and gas since I was first minister.

I can't see myself ever wanting to stand for election again, but I don't know whether five years from now, I might feel differently.

It feels deeply unjust and deeply unfair.

I just think that there has been – there is – an element, quite a big element, of sexism and misogyny over how I've been treated in relation to the crimes of a man, that wouldn't have been the case had I been the man.
