From day one, my mantra has been - and will continue to be - that as a government we were there to serve the people, not the other way around.

The world has become more diversified, with women becoming a real power of change.

If women decide that their mission, their political career, balances out what they have to give up, they can be and are equally successful as men.

There is an English saying, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." Women often become these tough ones.

Hard work, courage and commitment - these are the key elements for success.

I don't subscribe to that school of thought that leadership can be altogether defined by gender.

I have learned from my own experience that if you work hard you will succeed.

I am a person of action. If I see I can bring a positive change, I will go for it, never mind that something might be hard to achieve.

During my election campaign I was not giving out empty promises, but invited every member of society to join the efforts to work for a better life in Lithuania.

I never had ambition to become president of the state or to accomplish more than men.

If there were more women heads of state in the world, the world would be more peaceful and better focused on the improvement of the overall quality of life and welfare.

You don´t need internet connection to connect to God.

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.

I believe that this world, as we know it, will come to an end . . . This is not fanciful imagination but the clear and repeated testimony of the Bible.

I don’t have any ill will or ill thought towards anybody.

It reminds me how funny living in LA can be; You go to a friend's barbecue and you leave the face of Victoria Beckham's look book.

I love Los Angeles. It has a lot to offer culturally and has amazing restaurants.

I'm very much against the anonymity of bloggers and social media. I just hate it and I think it's really cowardly.

Peace is one of the greatest gifts we can leave our children.

You'll never be great at anything you're not passionate about.

Julio Cesar Chavez will never be ready to fight me.
