I'm not in love with David Petraeus. But I think he does present a terrific role model.

I had been sort of a rising star - an athlete, a scholar, a leader. My dream was to become a high-level national security adviser.

A lot of women were betting on me because there were so few role models and I let them down. They had put me on a pedestal. I maybe enjoyed being in that limelight, but I couldn't reverse what I had done.

My peers are all in sensitive jobs - at the C.I.A., the National Security Council, working for the Department of Defense. They can't stand up for me in public.

Imagine what Ivanka Trump life has been like? She's been eaten alive by the media. I have empathy for that.

Having a bunch of medals and badges doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve achieved anything, you’ve got to do something beyond yourself to make a difference in life. Seek to be consequential in whatever you do.
