When you're doing something that you think - that you know - is a breakthrough, you cannot obsess about the possibility of failure. That is just not a great place to go.

You see a lot of women who take the negative things that come their way and let it slide off them, like they are coated with Teflon.

In my experience, in this industry, the things that have been breakthrough have all been about connecting human beings to each other, communicating with each other.

McAfee's No. 1 strength is that they have a fantastic R&D team, engineering, as well as research at the core of security: database threat management.

I was very proud to be Mrs. Curtis Amy. My thing in life when I married Curtis Amy was being Mrs. Curtis Amy. Career was fine, but I was enthralled with being Curtis' wife. That was very important to me back then, and that's always important to a young lady from New Orleans. That's our upbringing: to be a wonderful wife and mother first.

At the time I retired I was kind of known for it, as one of the guys whose career ended technically as a result of a big hit.

I had a unique circumstance in which my career was associated with George W. Bush, who went straight to the top. I went to work for him in October of 1993. So my whole identity in national politics is associated with this president, and you know, I kind of want to leave it that way. It's not tugging at me to go do the '08 cycle.

The only way I'd have gone was if it would better my career, I would not have gone just for the money. The point was to go to a club that could win trophies.
