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

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.

I discovered that my imagination came alive when I moved away from the immediate world around me.

I always liked the magic of poetry but now I'm just starting to see behind the curtain of even the best poets, how they've used, tried and tested craft to create the illusion. Wonderful feeling of exhilaration to finally be there.

Normally, we push away the things we're scared of.

If you ask what people say what American cuisine is, they cannot really do it. I don't know what it is.

One of the nice things about problems is that a good many of them do not exist except in our imaginations.

Before the rise of the nation-state, between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries, the world was mostly tribal. Tribes were united by language, religion, blood, and belief. They feared other tribes and often warred against them.

The historian must have some conception of how men who are not historians behave. Otherwise he will move in a world of the dead. He can only gain that conception through personal experience, and he can only use his personal experiences when he is a genius.

I've been very clear publicly I'm not a perfect human being, and I've made mistakes in my life, and I've had to apologize to God and to seek reconciliation.

It's your job as an actor to fill out the blanks. I love doing that. To fill in the bones.

I'm surviving a life-threatening illness. Many do not, such as those without celebrity and fortune who have to depend on the public healthcare system.

Movies, as evidenced by a chorus of protesting and celebrating Americans, influence broader trends.

Usually pilot season is very busy, and there are lots of auditions and lots of near misses and rejections. This year, I had two auditions, landed this role and it felt like being home again.

An identity would seem to be arrived at by the way in which the person faces and uses his experience.
