People say I'm wearing heels because I'm short. I wear heels because the women like 'em.

I've heard people say in the U.N. community among mediators they don't like women as mediators because they're too quick to compromise.

People say that life is short, but it isn't short. It's very long.

I don't like it when people say, 'You're 45, so you should be wearing X and never Y.' For me, dressing is about attitude, not age.

People say I'm shrill and strident.

Life's too short to wear high heels.
