I think the best way to control a population is to urbanize and to educate women. We have seen historically in many, many countries that once women are educated and have opportunities, and that happens when they live in cities and once they improve their economies, they no longer want to have eight kids. They want to have one or two or maybe three. And that is much more sustainable for them because they have other opportunities.

I absolutely am an environmentalist. I am probably more of an environmentalist than most people who live in the world, but I think that comes from my position in the world and that doesn't make me a better person.

In environments where corporations become too interventionist and capture regulation themselves, the government must be able to battle back so that the people have a chance.

International institutions like the Security Council, the General Assembly, the G20, the BRICs, the IMF, etc., continue to be little more than an extension of the (increasingly conflicting) values and interests of member states.

It's very hard for someone who makes $1,000 a year or some who makes less than $1 a day to care about the environment.

There is too large a divergence at the moment in the interests and values of the world's most powerful states.
