I really do think about the fact that every day counts. I believe that every individual counts, and so I believe that every day counts and I try not to waste it.

Don't make me into this airy-fairy, moralist, idealist because I'm not.

There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women.

I really think that there was a great advantage in many ways to being a woman. I think we are a lot better at personal relationships, and then have the capability obviously of telling it like it is when it's necessary.

I am not a fatalist. I have just been reading War and Peace and Tolstoy is such a fatalist. I think people can make a difference... I am an optimist who worries a lot.

I loved being Secretary of State, that's probably evident to everyone who watched me.

I think I've revived the costume-jewelry industry.
