I am the only high-ranking U.S. official to ever meet with Kim Jong-il, and we are the same height and both wear high heels.

I did go to Wellesley, a women's college. And I am of a kind of strange generation which is transitional in terms of women who wanted to go out and get jobs.

I think women want to take care of themselves, and I think having a voice in how that is done is very important.

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'm for democracy, but imposing democracy is an oxymoron. People have to choose democracy, and it has to come up from below.

I went to college somewhere between the invention of the iPad and the discovery of fire... but I had gone to a women's college.

I wasn't a normal professor. I had worked in government. I hadn't written nine zillion books. I was a hands-on professor.
