It's Important That We Invest In America

We Are Very Hip On The Fact That America's Always No. 1. On This We Are Not, In Terms Of The Number Of Women In Our Legislative Branches And Obviously As Head Of State. We Need To Push On That. I Hate To Say This: It Isn't All Men's Fault. I Think Some Of It Is Our Own Attitude And Approach. Some Of It Very Healthy, That Women Want To Make Choices About Their Lives And How They Want To Spend Their Time, And What They Value.

Really, I Have To Laugh Because There Was A Whole Set Of Stories That Made Me Sound Like The Dragon Lady, You Know, 'tough This And Tough That.' Then There Is This Business About 'gooey.' The Bottom Line Is I Am A Pragmatic Idealist.

I Think That The Middle East Is The Largest Piece Of Unfinished Business That We All Have. I Happen To Believe In The Democratization Process.

One Of The Things That Was Really An Issue Was I Did Not Want To Just Be A Woman Secretary Of State. I Wanted To Be A Secretary Of A State Who Was A Woman, But Not Just Chosen For That Particular Reason.

I Really Do Think About The Fact That Every Day Counts. I Believe That Every Individual Counts, And So I Believe That Every Day Counts And I Try Not To Waste It.
