I am not normally a fan of organised tours: few public figures are, feeling themselves objects of constant curiosity.

After Margaret Thatcher's funeral, I spoke at a tribute meeting organised by her supporters in a pub next to St Paul's.

London Fashion Week isn't the most organised, but I don't mind that. It's such an exciting place - it's small and cool.

Tillakaratne Dilshan is innovative and scores quickly, while Upul Tharanga is neat and well organised - and left handed.

Modern life is organised so that you benefit at the expense of the other, and the most extreme example of that is a camp.

All the religions are basically good, but there's something about organised religion that leads to corruptness and poison.

We have a storage close by where I live, that's very organised. My guitar tech, Matty organised it all, labeled everything.

I thought Obama ran the best campaign I have ever known - disciplined, well organised, very, very good. I was very impressed.

I'm not Buddhist, but I am drawn to it because it seems the most beneficial of organised religions and the most compassionate.

Every European country faces threats which ignore national frontiers: pandemics, climate change, terrorism and organised crime.

It's about maintaining balance. Plan better, be organised. I chose to be a working wife and mother. Why should I compromise on either?

We also did something called the Texas Peace Festival, which was actually a better gig both musically, and in the way it was organised.

I'm a neat freak. I find I work best when I feel organised and together, and as I work from home, that means my house is always so tidy!

I don't think you can manage 400 games in the Premier League, 550 in the Championship, play 980 times and not be a little bit organised.

I know it is crazy, but I want to create a place where people can come in an organised way to think differently, to think their own thoughts.

I don't sing beautifully or grandly or in a very 'moving' way. I am me - which is not very beautiful at times, and not very organised or regular.

Organised religion, organised anything, requires commitment and requires an engagement with something. A lot of the time, we don't want to commit.

I guess music, particularly the blues, is the only form of schizophrenia that has organised itself into being both legal and beneficial to society.

I'm a very motivated person, and that goes hand in hand with being very organised. I always plan what I need to do to get the best out of every day.

I don't really see the point in planning to show off-schedule. I think it's things like showing on-schedule that helps London be organised as it is.

I love fashion; I love being able to have fun with it, but I think I need to get a little bit more organised before I ever become a true fashionista.

My younger self wouldn't recognise me at all. She would think I was quite serious, organised and practical, but I've had to be to run the foundation.

I don't subscribe to organised religion. I've travelled enough to see that adherents of organised religion often attack adherents of other religions.

Without a doubt, it is easier to produce a defensive soccer team, because it does not need you to have talent for it but simply to be well organised.

It's pretty scripted on the road: very organised and compartmentalised, and that's the way it has to be with so many people involved in a Stones tour.

The reason I moved to Singapore is because everything is so organised and streamlined. There's no 'who you know,' there's no anything 'under the table.'

I'm the most organised person in the world. Apparently, I'm just like Monica from 'Friends' because I am hyper, hyper organised. It's probably bordering on OCD.

I wouldn't say I was organised at all. I just have to prioritise. Is it more important for them to be organised, or to have their dinner, do you know what I mean?

People in the South are very organised and are thorough professionals besides being good paymasters. They are very disciplined and start and wrap up work on time.

We know an organised workforce cannot be enslaved, but when governments fail their citizens and allow corporations to escape the rule of law, slavery can flourish.

There is incredible potential for digital technology in and beyond the classroom, but it is vital to rethink how learning is organised if we are to reap the rewards.

I think it's important to feel good so that the football can take care of itself. If everything else is organised and ready to go, then you're free to play football.

With amateur boxing, you're just entered into a competition. And to be the best, you've got to beat the best. You're not waiting around to get these fights organised.

In the end, being the writer on set is a bit like having organised a big party, but you're not allowed to eat or drink anything. You just have to stand in the corner.

I left the table where there were important people and had lunch with my husband and a few friends. The reception was organised in my honour, so it was rather amusing.

We try and play football in a positive way. Any team has to be defensively organised, but you have to look at the attributes of the players and play to their strengths.

I am a multilateralist. I am deeply convinced that there is no other way to deal with global challenges than with global responses, and organised in a multilateral way.

The only difference is that religion is much better organised and has been around much longer, but it's the same story with different characters and different costumes.

There is no physical law precluding particles from being organised in ways that perform even more advanced computations than the arrangements of particles in human brains.

I know that those who esteem these little organised associations to be the churches of God, see nothing but mere meetings of men in every other gathering of God's children.

We arrived at the 2002 World Cup with two titles, very calm, well organised, maybe missing a bit of concentration. But the only truth is on the pitch. The dangers are there.

In 1985, as a community activist and GLC councillor, I organised the first ever public meeting to explain the threat of a third runway at Heathrow airport for my local community.

Here in Britain, black people are disproportionately targeted, arrested and imprisoned for drug offences, while organised and violent crime are granted a massive source of revenue.

I think it's really hard for teenage girls in London to just gently... have a life. Everything has to be organised for kids in London - you can't just walk three roads to see a friend.

I think, technically, we have won the war because people are going back into their neighbourhoods. Boko Haram as an organised fighting force - I assure you that we have dealt with them.

Would I describe myself as new Labour? I'm Labour, organised Labour. I think labels have a limited use and that's where you really get into boy stuff sometimes, just sticking on labels.

I think protest and actions have to be organised against the Israelis and their backers. There needs to be a concerted high profile campaign to raise awareness of the people in this country.

One of the great benefits of organised religion is that you can be forgiven your sins, which must be a wonderful thing. I mean, I carry my sins around with me, there's nobody there to forgive them.

People say I inherited my feisty attitude on the cricket pitch from my dad, but he and I might disagree. The most useful trait I've inherited from my mother is to make sure that I'm always organised.
