"I am committed to advancing our security and prosperity by building a diplomatic corps that fully represents America."

"That's who we are. That's what America represents to the world however imperfectly. Now, we have to proceed with equal measures of humility and confidence."

"If you look two things, one, the budget and, you know, show me the money and I'll tell you what your priorities are, clearly, State Department is not their priority."
