Negotiation is not a policy. It's a technique. It's something you use when it's to your advantage, and something that you don't use when it's not to your advantage.

I don't much believe in bumper sticker characterizations of foreign policy.

We think it is important to increase international pressure on Iran to get them to rethink the policy of seeking to acquire nuclear weapons and thereby try and bring a peaceful and diplomatic solution to this problem.

If you're an artist, you have to use everything to your advantage, even the pain.

What is negotiation but the accumulation of small lies leading to advantage?

Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.
