Since I've had a career, my hair has been more or less professional.

I've been very lucky to have had a supportive family, a great education, enormous opportunity and challenge.

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.

South Africa's increasingly, for example, the largest foreign investor in various other parts of Africa.

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

People are consuming the news that is comfortable for them, not necessarily the news that is real or that they need to know.

Like democracy itself, jazz has structure, but within it you can say almost anything.
