Since I've Had A Career,

I Don't Have Time To Think About The False Controversy.

I Am Straight Forward; I Am Not Manipulative; I Am Not Two-faced. And I Think That That Has Served Me Well In All Of My Roles, Particularly As A Diplomat, Because People Knew If I Said Something, I Meant It. If I Said No, I Meant No, And If I Said We Could Make This Work, We Would Make It Work.

Progress Is The Product Of Human Agency. Things Get Better Because We Make Them Better. Things Go Wrong When We Get Too Comfortable, When We Fail To Take Risks Or Seize Opportunities.

You Have To Make Change.

I Like To Think That With Me, What You See Is What You Get, And You Can Like Or Dislike It, It's Up To You, But It's Straight. That's Something That I Pride Myself On.
