I don't think we're at war with Islam. I don't think we're at war with all Muslims. I think we're at war with jihadists.

I think it's fair to say there is a demagogic path that Europeans, South Americans, Asians have pursued, and we know where that leads. It uses xenophobia, it uses paranoia, it uses prejudice, it uses nationalism to really stir people up and to, you know, begin an us-versus-them contrast, which is dangerous and is not something we've had in our politics at a presidential level in America.

I believe in raising the minimum wage and equal pay for work.

I have a lot of stamina and I have a lot of resilience.

I am neither frustrated nor planning anything other than being the best Secretary of State I could be.

I've seen it in so many talented young women who hold back because they're not sure that what they say will be smart enough. Or maybe they've said something in a prior meeting, and people acted like they hadn't said it, and that was crushing. Then we have all had the experience where 20 minutes later, a man says the same thing and everybody responds positively.... So don't take it personally. Take it seriously so that you understand it, and then try to devise techniques to overcome it.

The First Lady role is really difficult. It has no job description... You have to create it for yourself.
