"We don't have any inclination to be involved in the internal affairs of another country unless our own security should be directly threatened."

"To bring some tightly drawn, simplistic cohesion into this broadly diverse responsibility is almost impossible."

"One problem has been that in the openness that I've tried to create, there comes with debate on complicated issues an absence of clarity."

"I didn't expect it to be easy when I came here."
