I am such a political person.

It takes more than one dove to make peace in the Middle East.

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.

We have the most generous immigration policy, but what is a concern is when illegal immigrants come and undermine a variety of the systems that work in order to make our society function.

It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent.

If you look at my life, generally, I've been put in situations which were difficult and which I conquered.

What people have the capacity to choose, they have the ability to change.
