-On whether critics are correct in suggesting he doesn’t have the experience or intellectual heft to be prime minister:
“I don’t worry too much about answering their question. I focus on doing. I was raised by a man who, you know, nobody questioned his intellect. I spent the years between 13 and 25 sitting around the kitchen table and dinner table with him talking about global issues, talking about values, talking about how to build a better world, talking about engaged citizenship, history, talking about movies, talking about just about anything.
“I have no insecurities when it comes to my own intellectual capacities and I’m not worried about proving anything. I’m worried about getting the job done.”
