[I'm] very fortunate and blessed person who still has a lot of living to do.

I love to watch football.I actually really love to watch almost any competition with a score at the end.

The best armor against everything around you is to be well educated, to work hard, to be twice as good as if you had to be, to do languages and culture better.

You cannot be on one hand dedicated to peace and on the other dedicated to violence. Those two things are irreconcilable.

The PDB (Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.) does not say the United States is going to be attacked. It says Bin Laden would like to attack the United States. I don't think you, frankly, had to have that report to know that Bin Laden would like to attack the United States.

In any country, if you don't have countervailing institutions, the power of any one president is problematic for democratic development.

I remember at the time of 9/11 that there were women who went out of their way to escort Muslim women to grocery stores because they wanted to be sure that they didn't experience any prejudice. And so I'm not one who believes that America is a country that's intolerant. It's the most tolerant country in the world, and I really think that it's unfortunate that a number of people are trying to paint America with this brush. I just don't see it.
