I got married, I really waited a long time - three days after I graduated.

When we're trying to solve difficult national issues its sometimes necessary to talk to adversaries as well as friends. Historians have a word for this: diplomacy.

Well we're good friends so I'm a little prejudice, but I think [Hillary Clinton] is incredibly qualified, and better prepared to be president than almost anyone who's ever run frankly.

I have very set and consistent principles, but I am flexible on tactics. I like to get the job done.

I think there has to be the sense that once you have climbed the ladder of success, that you don't push it away from the building.

This is pure speculation, but for a period of time, a lot of getting into a party was through fundraising and volunteer work, and Republican women had more time to do that than democratic women, who were out there getting jobs.

Well, the thing that I learned as a diplomat is that human relations ultimately make a huge difference.
