I'm not the smartest fellow in the world, but I can sure pick smart colleagues.
You can't get closer to the heart of national sovereignty than national security and intelligence services.
We will strengthen our security by building missile defense, restoring our military might, and standing by and strengthening our intelligence officers.
The danger of having the military take over intelligence is that the military has a very different perspective on the world.
I'm an optimist in the sense that I believe humans are noble and honorable, and some of them are really smart. I have a very optimistic view of individuals.
I do have concerns about the current efforts to restructure our nation's intelligence community.
At the end the day because I believe so strongly in leadership, what I look for first, what I try to assess, is integrity.
The Washington leadership has put aside non-proliferation programmes and devoted its energies and resources to driving the country to war by extraordinary deceit, then trying to manage the catastrophe it created in Iraq.
There's a void of leadership in a lot of Washington. I think one of the reasons why there's so much angst across the country.
Nobody in a leadership level in American politics is trying to inspire the American people. Everybody needs to be goosed. The vast majority of people are not self-starters.
I've never been sick a day in my life. I'm healthy, and I think I can make other people healthy, too.
It's essential to tell the truth at all times. This will reduce life's pain. Lying distorts reality. All forms of distorted thinking must be corrected.
Everything that has happened to me is of value to me. As painful as certain things are, and have been, and were, there's a use for those things in my life and in my work.
If the Russian nuclear arsenal was fired at the United States and other targets, and we fired back at them with thousands of nuclear weapons, it would be the end of life on earth.
I spent the first fourteen years of my life convinced that my looks were hideous. Adolescence is painful for everyone, I know, but mine was plain weird.
And we are never too old to study the Bible. Each time the lessons are studied comes some new meaning, some new thought which will make us better.
Randomness I love. And I still love just a holler right in the middle of an ongoing narrative. Pain or joy, ecstasy.
I would have loved to be the designer of the Capitol of the United States. I would love to do some important major public building.
I fell in love with Neil's pain. We were in this cocoon of intensity. Neil and I were uniquely in the same position at the same time, having overwhelming success facing us.
I text nonstop, and I love emoji. I'm also on the phone quite a bit for work - probably more than 10 calls per day.
I have been suffering for so long and didn't even recognize it. I just stopped doing so many things that I used to love to do due to my pain.
