I truly was never asked, I truly knew it wasn't a problem, because a dual citizenship means you are a citizen of both countries. If I had been asked why would I want to hide it? I didn't think it was a problem to hide it and I don't think it is a problem now. In fact it is an advantage. Dana Rosemary Scallon on her US citizenship.

I lived in the United States in the 1960s and I still remember the ceremonies that were attached to becoming an American citizen . . . you don't do it casually. Labour presidential candidate Michael D Higgins.

I apologise to those who are disappointed in this decision. I've been hearing from them in the last couple of hours but I believe that they, when they take a step back, will understand why the decision was made and understand that, really, you don't need a title to make a difference in this country. I think that I'm proof of that. Sarah Palin on her decision not to seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2012.

If I offended anyone, I am hugely sorry. That is not what I wanted to do. It's my fault. I've got to do better, I totally accept. I'm the one who's got to explain who I am and what I'm like and what I think. What I find frustrating is I'm not a sort of, 'All right luv, I'm down at the pub tonight', whatever. That's not me. David Cameron says sorry for making patronising remarks to women politicians.

I was looking down from the airplane and it seemed like everything wasn't real. Amanda Knox on her return to the US after an Italian court overturned her conviction for the murder of student Meredith Kercher.

This result is crazy. It makes a mockery of the original trial. There were 47 knife wounds on Meredith and two knives used. One person couldn't possibly have done that. Meredith Kercher's father John.
