I have great ambitions for when I get out of government. I will watch a broader range of stuff.

As Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Barak have repeatedly said, the intelligence and security relationship between the United States and Israel at present is unprecedented. It has never been stronger.

There are plenty of meetings, receptions, dinners, and so if you are [at the U.N.] any length of time, and I was there for four and a half years, you formed pretty significant relationships with people from all over the world. And that's important to the work you do. If you're trying to rally the General Assembly to vote for something that matters to the United States, those personal relationships count.

It may not be what you would've chosen, but we all have a responsibility to be active citizens and shape our system and our future.

I think people have confidence that I will fairly and accurately represent their point of view to the President, and that I'm not going to put a spin on it, even if I may disagree with it.

Governing is different than campaigning, and that comes with a whole different level of responsibility.

I have no regrets whatsoever that I have acted in a way to advance my country's interests
