I'm not always the most diplomatic person.

The ambassador was never present, but his presence was never absent.

Even when I was at CIA, I'd go to visit foreign leaders and I'd say, 'You know, I'm not a diplomat. I'm just an old CIA guy'... I said, 'If I wanted to be diplomatic, I'd have been a diplomat.'

I was never invited to the White House.

I am an undiplomatic diplomat.

I won't let any ambassador have a say about my foreign travels.

I have never been bribed as a Prime Minister.

My father was a diplomatic officer. As a diplomat's daughter, you have to learn to present yourself very early on.

I never intended to be a politician or office-seeker.
