At one point, people are going to have to realize that maybe I know what I'm doing.
People in the street will either call me 'Prime Minister' or 'Justin'. We'll see how that goes. But when I'm working, when I'm with my staff in public, I'm 'Prime Minister'. I say that if we're drinking beer out of a bottle, and you can see my tattoos, you should be comfortable calling me 'Justin'.
