When I traveled as secretary of state, I was deluged with thick briefing books full of information about the politics, economy, and culture of each destination, so those took up most of my reading time.
My work as secretary of state was not influenced by the outside forces.
I'm the most transparent secretary of state because of that. I've been willing to say, "OK, read them [emails] all."
It's like [Donald's Trump] plan to defeat ISIS. He says it's a secret plan, but the only secret is that he has no plan.
Multimillionaires cannot pay lower rates than their secretaries and other people working for them.
Everything I did as secretary of state was in furtherance of America's interests and our values.
I was involved in a number of efforts to take out Al Qaida leadership when I was secretary of state, including, of course, taking out [Usama] bin Laden.
When I was secretary of state, we actually increased American exports globally 30 percent. We increased them to China 50 percent.
I have a lot of experience dealing with classified material, starting when I was on the Senate Armed Services Committee going into the four years as secretary of state.
In America, one of the biggest problems we have with China is the illegal dumping of steel and aluminum into our markets. I have fought against that as a senator. I've stood up against it as secretary of state.
Obviously, as secretary of state, I had some of the most important secrets that we possess, such as going after bin Laden. So I am very committed to taking classified information seriously.
I've spent so many years commuting, I kind of prefer a home office.
I've often thought that the gauntlet of American politics is more individualistic, more expensive, more unpredictable than in many other democracies.
I've been in the hospital once when I had my daughter, and, oh, when I broke my elbow, but other than that, I've been very fortunate.
