More quotes by Susan Rice
It is manifestly in the interest of the United States to deal with the very real threat that climate change poses. And that's why President Obama has worked so hard to reduce our own emissions and to lead internationally in forging the Paris climate agreement.
Susan Rice
I spend every day up at the United Nations where I have to interact with 192 other countries. I know how well the United States is viewed.
Susan Rice
I am very aware of being black and female because that's what I am.
Susan Rice
Iran's economy is now shrinking by 1 percent a year. Its oil production is down 40 percent.
Susan Rice
If you're trying to get something done, there will always be people who don't want to see you get something done, or who have a stake in the status quo. And if they approach that through ad hominem criticism of you, you've got to have enough confidence and thickness of skin to be able to endure.
Susan Rice
Syria is a civil war. Syria began as a popular uprising, just like the other experiences in the Arab Spring, with a repressive government that responded by basically killing the protesters. It's not a genocide, it's a war, and there's a difference. Genocide is a preplanned attack on people because of who they are. This is a interstate conflict.
Susan Rice
I have great ambitions for when I get out of government. I will watch a broader range of stuff.
Susan Rice
Well, Nigeria has played a constructive role in peacekeeping in various parts of West Africa. But unless and until Nigeria itself is democratic and respects human rights, it too may well be a source of much greater instability as political repression limits the ability of the people of Nigeria to achieve their full potential.
Susan Rice
It may not be what you would've chosen, but we all have a responsibility to be active citizens and shape our system and our future.
Susan Rice
We have to know who we are and know what we believe.
Susan Rice
President Obama is perhaps the smartest person I've ever worked with.
Susan Rice
Like democracy itself, jazz has structure, but within it you can say almost anything.
Susan Rice
What I would say about me is: What you see is what I get.
Susan Rice
I am a team player - and that is what you need to be an effective point guard. You gotta see the court, you gotta set up the play, and you gotta let others execute for the most part. I don't throw elbows for the sake of throwing elbows, but if somebody throws one at me and it's necessary to respond in kind, I suppose I can if I have to.
Susan Rice
I was conscious of the fact that it could be to my disadvantage to marry a white guy - that some folks would hold that against me.
Susan Rice
I think it's very, very important that in foreign policy and national security decision making, as in any other realm, that there be a range of diversity that reflects the full complexity of America. We should draw on those experiences to inform our decision making.
Susan Rice
Governing is different than campaigning, and that comes with a whole different level of responsibility.
Susan Rice
One can't erase the tremendous burden of apartheid in 10 years, 20 years, I believe, even 30 years.
Susan Rice
I'm apologetic when I feel like I've made a mistake. And when I have done a disservice to myself or someone else. But I don't feel a need to apologize for doing or saying something that I think needs to be said, just because it may not sit comfortably with somebody else.
Susan Rice
The larger picture here is that a North Korea with nuclear weapons adds to the larger proliferation risk.
