It's my job to plan for the worst case, ... I think the best thing to say about China is that we look forward to increased transparency regarding Chinese military growth.

Prepare for the worst. It could happen. Plan for the best. Make it happen.

We don't think we ought to have to do this. It's a federal job.

Don't worry, the worst that could happen is we all die.

I think I'm prepared for every worst-case scenario. If I go second round, I'm prepared to do that . You never know. I might just say I'm not ready even if I hear first round. To come back to school or go to the NBA, I know it's a big risk.

I think it's great, ... I tell everybody that this is the best job in the world.
