I was a little girl in World War II and I'm used to being freed by Americans.

I can't see democracy occurring by force - after an Iraqi war, because of the fallout from that.

We must help women in every society to have their voices heard.

I felt that America's duty was not to try to do everything itself, but to foster a sense of commitment that would bring out the best in every country.

I think that we had a different view of what the 21st century could be like, with much more of a sense, from our perspective, of trying to have an interdependent world: looking at solving regional conflicts, having strength in alliances, operating within some kind of a sense that we were part of the international community and not outside of it.
