I felt that what is personal is political.

Albania has to demonstrate that it is willing to be a reliable partner in the international community.

I was very restless, but finally I found my way.

Men don't have as many difficulties and are more supported to combine the different aspects of their life.

Women are clear-headed, they are more creative and for this reason, sometimes, also more fragile.

My mother's studies stopped with the third year of primary school, my father with the first. They taught me a deep sense of duty. But nobody was involved in politics in my family.

I am now concerned with women's issues in a different way: women from Afghanistan, from Cambodia.

The individual couldn't find any attention in Italy.

A woman must combine the role of mother, wife and politician.

I support the recommendations made by the International Crisis Group. The primary responsibility is for Kosovo Albanians to demonstrate that their treatment of minorities is adequate.

I was on leave from local and regional politics, as long as I was a Minister.

My family had liberal positions.

Women movements would form among the factory workers, a great mobilisation that destroyed the old models.

We are aware of the strategic location of Kuwait, besides the stable region.

I mean to defend the rights of individuals in a liberal prospect.

The speed of movement towards independence will depend on Kosovo demonstrating that it is capable of treating minorities well. We have not always seen that.

My mother was a regular church-goer and was very tolerant.

I thought there had to be something I could do because it seemed crazy that, in addition to the psychological tragedy each woman has to face, came also all the rest.

I think nowadays economic liberties are an explosive issue.

The knowledge of languages was very useful. I have a university degree in foreign languages and literature.

I felt that what is personal is political.

The two great cultural and political currents of Italy have always only been concerned with the masses.

I was thrown into the Parliament right away. From 1976 to 1978 I was concerned with the abortion issue, later on with that of divorce.

Macedonia's handling of ethnic relations and other issues is encouraging.

Kosovo's destiny is clearly to join the European Union at some point.

Drafting a constitution is only the first step. The constitution has to be granted legitimacy by open discussion and a fair, representative referendum.

I am positive that flexibility is a feminine characteristic.

The EU should have consolidated its different presences and purposes in Kosovo earlier.

I should have worried about taking responsibilities for which I was not ready.

I met the Radicals and we liked each other reciprocally.

The fact remains; chauvinism is prevailing.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights describes the family as the natural and fundamental unit of society. It follows that any choice and decision with regard to the size of the family must irrevocably rest with the family itself, and cannot be made by anyone else.

As a Latino growing up in Spanish harlem, it's not easy trying not to be hot-headed.

I am compelled to continuously see the bright side. It is in my DNA. My kids look at me and say: 'Mom, you're so happy!' And I do feel happy. I feel joyful inside. I can't explain it.

Few people think more than two or three times a year; I have made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or twice a week.

I think people, whether they realize they're doing it or not, seek out distractions to take their minds off what they know is bad behavior.

As an actor, I was just satisfied to work.

I discovered the 7th art at home when I was kid, through Charlie Chaplin's movies and those of my father who shot documentaries. He was my biggest influence. So I took his camera and started shooting.

Balthazar Balsan is not a self-portrait. If he was, I'd have made the character more flattering.

I haven't got a problem with scrutiny. If it gets hot in the kitchen, don't cook a meal. People should be able to criticise us - it's completely appropriate.

My background is deep and set in deep time and in a narrow space oral traditions going back a long long time which I inherited by osmosis.

It's not so much religion per se, it's false certainty that worries me, and religion just has more than its fair share of false certainty or dogmatism. I'm really concerned when I see people pretending to know things they clearly cannot know.

I will write another book if I feel like it.

Platitude: an idea (a) that is admitted to be true by everyone, and (b) that is not true.

Fusion has not been proven to be safe, and it is too costly.

I am always floating around trying to tend to everyone and be free while at the same time enjoying some space.

I have always been comfortable that no one has been able to assess what I really have.

You can have a phenomenal technology with bad people; you're not gonna have much success. You can have mediocre technology with great people; they'll figure out a way to make a buck.

In high school, I was so painfully self-aware that how I thought of myself was probably very different from what other people thought of me. I thought of myself as just painfully awkward and dorky. I had a lot of hair and was kind of weird. I sang a lot in the hallways.
