I am neither frustrated nor planning anything other than being the best Secretary of State I could be.
Dynamism is a function of change.
We are producing a lot of natural gas, which serves as a bridge to more renewable fuels. And I think that's an important transition.
I've never understood multi-party democracy. It's hard enough with two parties.
Democracies have to be careful that they do not become so process-driven.
Whether I am meant to or not, I challenge assumptions about women. I do make some people uncomfortable, which I'm well aware of, but that's just part of coming to grips with what I believe is still one of the most important pieces of unfinished business in human history - empowering women to be able to stand up for themselves.
You can have the right kind of experience and the wrong kind of experience. Mine is rooted in the real lives of real people, and it will bring real results if we have the courage to change.
We've got to remain energy-independent. It gives us much more power and freedom than to be worried about what goes on in the Middle East. We have enough worries over there without having to worry about that.
Motown, Motown, that's my era. Those are my people.
I support moving toward more clean, renewable energy as quickly as we can, because I think America can be the 21st century clean energy superpower and create millions of new jobs and businesses.
I have gone from a Barry Goldwater Republican to a New Democrat, but I think my underlying values have remained pretty constant; individual responsibility and community. I do not see those as being mutually inconsistent.
I sometimes think that I didn't leave the Republican Party, as much as it left me.
No matter what you think about the Iraq war, there is one thing we can all agree on for the next days - we have to salute the courage and bravery of those who are risking their lives to vote and those brave Iraqi and American soldiers fighting to protect their right to vote.
When I was secretary of state, I went around the world advocating for America, but also advocating for women's rights, to make sure that women had a decent chance to have a better life and negotiated a treaty with Russia to lower nuclear weapons. Four hundred pieces of legislation have my name on it as a sponsor or cosponsor when I was a senator for eight years.
