Judge me on what I do and I think you will be pleased and proud of me.

I look for the consensus because the consensus drives the policy into new places.

I am proud of the fact that women have been recognised as being as capable, as able to do the senior jobs in Europe as any man.

In the EU you have half a billion people who share a common belief in democracy, in rights, in the kind of economic life we want.

Im not interested in the limelight.

I was the first woman British commissioner, the first woman trade commissioner, so I am also proud to be the first woman High Representative.

Am I an ego on legs? No I am not. Do I want to be seen out there all the time saying everything? No, I don't.

I find friendship to be like wine, raw when new, ripened with age, the true old man's milk and restorative cordial.

We only have to Believe in our Own Dream.

The hydra of corruption is only scotched, not dead. An investigation kills and it and its supporters dead. Let this be had.

In fact, I don't think I'll ever make anything that will feel as divinely dropped in my lap as the opening of 'Wall-E.'

I always wonder whether I'll get treated differently with a different accent.

To no kind of begging are people so averse, as to begging pardon; that is, when there is any serious ground for doing so.

I always try to be true to who I am and just be myself.

The great leader attracts to himself men of kindred character, drawing them towards him as the loadstone draws iron.

If you say you don't have money to help a animal shelter, why then do you have money to buy meat?
