Leaders have to lead.

I do not support a civil war. I don't want to be policeman of the world. But we can't back off of this.

[President] needs to engage them in a very personal way. And he needs to tell them that this is something that America, the United States of America, needs. Not Republican. It's not Democrat. It's America.

I mean, I don't have any more words.I've tried to do the best I can to lead by my actions in an appropriate way without recrimination or anything like that, because I'm a very happy person. I don't think I need to say any more than what I've demonstrated.

One of the things that I'm really concerned about is that people who don't have power are not priorities for people in public life. Maybe it's always been that way, but I see it more starkly now.

Every time I go to Washington, I break out in a cold sweat. So I try not to spend too much time there.

We don't have to fight all the time. It can be done, and we will be great when we join together.
