If there were more women heads of state in the world, the world would be more peaceful and better focused on the improvement of the overall quality of life and welfare.

The world has become more diversified, with women becoming a real power of change.

I never had ambition to become president of the state or to accomplish more than men.

I am a person of action. If I see I can bring a positive change, I will go for it, never mind that something might be hard to achieve.

Women have more inner power for creation, starting from family and home and ending with professional activity and politics.

During my election campaign I was not giving out empty promises, but invited every member of society to join the efforts to work for a better life in Lithuania.

During conflicts and tense situations, women often work in a more collaborative way, include a larger variety of viewpoints, and function more frequently outside traditional hierarchical means. Women leaders often take a consolidated and reconciliatory position in the society.
