To me, it's about always trying to make decisions that reflect my leadership and who I am.

Leadership, to me, is about the ability to have people want to hear what you have to say. People want to be around you, people want to believe in what you tell them, and they feel good when they walk away from you about who they are and what they're doing.

Leadership is a position where you want to create the opportunity to inspire people to walk along beside you, not listen to what you say.

Mess up and draft somebody at my position, because you are going to sit around and watch him sit the bench. That's always been my mentality. I see it as a challenge.

Treaties of peace, made after war, are entrusted to individuals to negotiate and carry out.

In the case of non-signatory states like Syria and Iraq, the U.N. Security Council is mandated with enforcement of the International Criminal Court's jurisdictions in matters of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

This was not a decision made with the Israelis. This was a decision by the president for the American people. And so, it was a decision that we all said Jerusalem should be the capital and the embassy should be there. This decision should not weigh in on the peace process.

As soon as war is declared it will be impossible to hold the poets back. Rhyme is still the most effective drum.
