Focus on something that stirs your soul, it's hard to excel at anything that you don't love.
Susan Rice
What I would say about me is: What you see is what I get.
Susan Rice
Americans understand that our security is enhanced when the United States is trusted and respected in the world.
Susan Rice
There are no cookie-cutter solutions that you can apply from one circumstance to another. They're different. Our interests, as implicated, are different. The tools we have at our disposal are different.
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 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.

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
All of us as citizens have to be consumers and judges.
Susan Rice
I am straight forward I am not manipulative I am not two-faced. And I think that that has served me well in all of my roles, particularly as a diplomat, because people knew if I said something, I meant it. If I said no, I meant no, and if I said we could make this work, we would make it work.
Susan Rice
I have been to Libya and walked the streets of Benghazi myself.
Susan Rice
President Obama has got the most moderate temperament.
Susan Rice
I have a range, and I'd much rather do things the nice way than the hard way, but sometimes you have to use all the tools at your disposal.
Susan Rice
What I learned is that policymakers have to force consideration of actions that may not have occurred to them at the time.
Susan Rice
Like democracy itself, jazz has structure, but within it you can say almost anything.
Susan Rice
Well, I think by any expectation South Africa has come a tremendously long way. We've seen a society that many people thought couldn't withstand a peaceful transition to democracy without a great deal of violence, in fact, make that transition and do it in relative peace and security.
Susan Rice
Iran's economy is now shrinking by 1 percent a year. Its oil production is down 40 percent.
Susan Rice
I am blunt when I want to be.
Susan Rice
The larger picture here is that a North Korea with nuclear weapons adds to the larger proliferation risk.
Susan Rice
I think one of the real issues that we're faced with is how we consume news, how the media is perceived, how fake news is gaining a degree of currency without criticism that is dangerous, in my judgement.
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.
