Andrew Marr quotes

Rude interviewers are ten a penny, and politicians have long since learned how to cope. (Andrew Marr)

Andrew Marr

Andrew Marr

Andrew Marr

Business never rests.

Andrew Marr

Andrew Marr

I'm a great believer in the direct quote in quotation marks and the hard fact.

Andrew Marr

Verbally, I'm quite fast on my feet. I could embarrass or anger most people if I wanted to.
