I've gone to work, I've raised a child, and I've spent 30 years trying to better the lives of children and families. But I often return to one thing I said way back then - that politics is the art of making possible what appears to be impossible.
Families are the bedrock of our society.
What I don't think we should do is panic, and I don't think we should advocate for ideas and plans that will make things worse.
The way Donald Trump talks about terrorism and his very insulting language towards Muslims is making him the recruiting sergeant for ISIS.
I will take a backseat to no one in keeping America safe. I have a very clear set of proposals about how we defeat ISIS.
I think it's important that we do it [defeat ISIS] in concert with other nations in Europe, the Middle East, elsewhere if necessary. And that means you've got to work with people. You don't insult them. You don't insult their religion. And it means we have to see our entire country, all of the people in it, as part of our first line of defense.
[Donald Trump] attitude towards our longest defense alliance and NATO, that we should somehow walk away from it.
[Donald Trump] said some very ill-considered, dangerous thing, and it's around the world in a nanosecond.
I don't think labels are as important as results.
I believe that, we're better when we're moving forward. We're stronger together, so that's what I'm going to be doing.
We got an international coalition [against Iran], and we imposed that. It was slow, patient diplomacy, nothing at all particularly headline-worthy. But then you got to the point where the negotiations - which I started and Secretary [John] Kerry completed - I think made the world safer.
When people say, well, they disapprove, I'd like to know what the specifics are, because sometimes - and the president [Barack Obama] has admitted this - they may not feel like he's really explaining and understanding the emotion behind some of these fears [about Iran]. And that's a perfectly legitimate question for people to ask. But if you look at the results of where we are, I think there are some things I agree with and some things I don't agree with, and I think that's absolutely fair game.
I said it was a mistake. It wasn't the best choice. But all my emails have been turned over to the public.
I'm the most transparent secretary of state because of that. I've been willing to say, "OK, read them [emails] all."
