I would be delighted if the United States could have a positive relationship with Russia, and I would be thrilled if the Russian people, who are so capable, had a normal country that they could chart a different future.
There is no part of the world that is irrelevant to the United States anymore.
I don't think that the United States has the bulk of the responsibility. I really put that on [Bashar] Assad and on the Iraqis and on the region itself.
While there are few problems in today's world that the United States can solve alone, there are even fewer that can be solved without the United States.
There is a hunger for the United States to be present again.
The United States has, unfortunately, been victimized by terrorism going back decades.
The United States, obviously, has a great interest in helping to maintain peace and security in Europe, and we have a formal alliance, NATO, to do so.
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.
