Happy Father's Day -- or as they call it in my family, happy brother-in-law's day.
For every young person I meet, I learn an idea.
Hillary Clinton respects good ideas wherever they come from. That's something I haven't seen in a lot of powerful people.
I know full well how important women are in diplomacy and development. I grew up with seven sisters.
A simple leather jacket... has gotten me through cocktail parties in New York and cold nights in Afghanistan.
You eat a lot of goat stomach when you're in North Africa. You eat whatever's put in front of you. I am a big proponent of that.
Being under the microscope meant I was never given any slack. I still managed to screw up plenty in life, mind you, but in the things I really cared about - the legal work, or the stories I was telling as a writer, or the office I built in government - I wasn't left a lot of margin for error. It's kept me driven.
