“There is this concept of politics as a dirty game. It's a difficult game, but it doesn't have to be dirty. I think this is what we need to bring to politics. I think politics around the world has very often been captured by big interests - 'lobbies' they call them in the States.”

“The more there is a European solution to a theoretical, but possible, problem in the markets, the less we will have to talk about an I.M.F. solution.”

“We in Europe have great capacities.”

“I think my story captured a wonderful feeling inside all of us. It's a dream that we can all do it. It's all possible.”

“I'm very proud of the fact that we captured the perpetrator of 9/11, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. I think we did extraordinary work.”

“Pol Pot will surrender, be captured or commit suicide.”
