I am not in favour of quotas. Just put the best person into the job. It is not about gender; it is about experience, leadership and vision.

Our Nation is in great need of young men and women of character to lead in every arena of our society.

In a way, it has been an advantage for me to be a woman because there is always some academic committee that needs you to fill a quota!

I want women, especially young women, to create a world where your success is not based on being young.

And I always like to stress, it's not a quota, not a set-aside, it's not about race, it's about giving opportunities to demonstrate their abilities to do work with the Federal Government.

In the underdeveloped countries, we have young men and women, many of them of capacity but without opportunity to improve themselves. They cannot do so without help.

Since governmental quotas expand bureaucratic power, provoke a backlash and are unfair to individuals, we need to find a better way to increase minority opportunities.

This country can no longer afford to choose our leaders from a talent pool limited by sex, race, money, powerful fathers and paper degrees. It's time to take equal pride in breaking all the barriers.

I'm probably one of most quotable guys in America.

I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.
