John Kerry knows more about more subjects than an awful lot of people. But I think it's a very hard job [Secretary of State].
Madeleine Albright
I never dreamed about one day becoming Secretary of State. It's not that I was modest it's just that I had never seen a Secretary of State in a skirt.
Madeleine Albright
