People sometimes ask me, "You're still in a primary - why are you criticizing [Donald] Trump?" It's because I don't want what he's saying to stand unanswered.
[Donald Trump] suggestions are not only offensive but, in certain cases, dangerous and sometimes even illegal, like his dismissal of the laws of the United States international law when it comes to torture.
Large corporations are amassing so much power in our economy. Sometimes it's called market concentration or even old-fashioned monopolies.
It is hard sometimes to get the Congress to do what you want to do and you have to keep working at it.
The truth is that sometimes it is hard even for me to recognize the Hillary Clinton that other people see.
Sometimes overturning brutal regimes takes time and costs lives. I wish it weren't so. I really, really do.
I'm in charge of the State Department's 60,000-plus people all over the world, 275 posts.
I learned to be far more skeptical of what I'm told by presidents, no matter who the presidents are, and also to be much more cautious, always, in any action or vote that could lead to the use of American military power and most particularly what we call 'boots on the ground.'
Struggles do not end when countries attempt the transition to democracy.
There is nothing fast or easy about diplomacy. I have no illusions about that.
Don't let anybody tell you it's corporations and businesses create jobs. You know that old theory, 'trickle-down economics.' That has been tried, that has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly.
Cooking, decorating, diet/self-help and gardening books are guilty pleasures and useful time fillers.
With respect to Iraq, I did favour the continuity of American forces to work with the new Maliki government. They had enormous needs for intelligence, for training on everything from airplanes to more sophisticated ground equipment and the like.
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.
