I want more women to run countries. There'd be more peace on Earth.

I do think if all politicians were women, the world would be a better place.

This world crisis came about without women having anything to do with it. If the women of the world had not been excluded from world affairs, things today might have been different.

If more women are in leadership roles, we'll stop assuming they shouldn't be.

If nothing else, I want women to understand that they are powerful. If you look back at history, in almost every big moment, in every leap forward, you find ordinary women at the core. We have more ability to make changes in the world than we can imagine if we have the courage to try.

I think, certainly in the more civilized societies, women's roles are growing in power all of the time.

I'd like to see women get on to boards and run companies despite the fact that men occupy the citadels of power.

We live in an era of globalization and the era of the woman. Never in the history of the world have women been more in control of their destiny.

But I do not believe that the world would be entirely different if there were more women leaders. Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman, you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top, they haven't exactly been non-aggressive - including me.
