Hillary Clinton

But I can tell you another engine for growth and job creation would be comprehensive immigration reform.

And I believe we should strengthen unions which have formed the bedrock of a strong middle class. It should be easier to bargain collectively. That's not only fair, it makes workers more productive, it strengthens our economy.

And I will repeat today what I have said throughout this campaign. I will not raise taxes on the middle class. I will give you tax relief to help ease these burdens.

Now, look, I - I like to look at evidence. I plead to that. I think evidence is important when you're making decisions that affect other people's lives.

I had a personal email when I was in the Senate, as the vast majority of senators do. It was very convenient. I did all of my business on personal emails.

Most importantly I never sent classified material on my email and I never received any that was marked classified.

I am repeating the facts and the facts are I did not send nor did I receive material marked classified.

I'm the only candidate which has a policy about how to bring economic opportunity - using clean, renewable energy as the key - into coal country, because we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.

You can look at what I did in the Senate. I did introduce legislation to rein in compensation. I looked at ways that the shareholders would have more control over what was going on in that arena. And specifically said to Wall Street, that what they were doing in the mortgage market was bringing our country down.

I represented Wall Street, as a senator from New York, and I went to Wall Street in December of 2007 - before the big crash that we had - I basically said, 'Cut it out! Quit foreclosing on homes! Quit engaging in these kinds of speculative behaviors.'

We have to knock down the barriers erected by greed, special interests, powerful forces.

Remember, before they called it Obamacare, they called it Hillarycare.

I had a family that supported me.

I have known several presidents quite well, including my husband, and I worked closely with President George W. Bush and the White House then after 9/11, and I served with President Obama. I disagree with all three of those presidents on certain things.

I happen to have given lots of free speeches.

Women standing up for each other is critically important.

When I became secretary of state, I felt one of my primary jobs was building relationships around the world.

I don't think it's at all weakening of the system if people with the same last name put themselves forward to the electorate, when their experiences, their character, and in my case, gender, may be different.

My father was a small-businessman, and if he didn't get up and go to work, there would be no business.

I wish I had some stock in a scrunchie company.

I've often thought that the gauntlet of American politics is more individualistic, more expensive, more unpredictable than in many other democracies.

Struggles do not end when countries attempt the transition to democracy.

When women participate in peace-making and peace-keeping, we are all safer and more secure.

People can judge me for what I've done. And I think when somebody's out in the public eye, that's what they do. So I'm fully comfortable with who I am, what I stand for, and what I've always stood for.

We need more good jobs that reward hard work with rising wages, dignity, and a ladder to a better life.

When I chose to leave a career as a young lawyer in Washington to move to Arkansas to marry Bill and start a family, my friends asked, 'Are you out of your mind?'

I was not going to attack Palin just for being a woman appealing for support from other women.

When you have armed militants, aided and abetted by a major country like Russia, able to use surface-to-air missiles to bring down a commercial airline, that is a form of terrorism.

With respect to Iraq, I did favour the continuity of American forces to work with the new Maliki government. They had enormous needs for intelligence, for training on everything from airplanes to more sophisticated ground equipment and the like.

Everyone can change.

Iran has basically propped up Assad, who has waged an absolute war of horror against the Syrian people. And he has done anything he could to stay in power with the full support of the Iranians and including Iranian troops and Hezbollah from Lebanon, which are an Iranian proxy.

You don't make peace with your friends. That's the bottom line. You end conflicts by trying to find some political resolution.

I am not going to comment on what I did or did not say back in the late '90s.

Hamas, we know, embeds missiles, embeds command-and-control units in civilian areas.

Everybody feels they have been trespassed upon, and nearly everybody has trespassed on somebody else, maybe not intentionally.

I feel very blessed to have a partner in life who supports me, who is enthusiastic about what I want to do, who has been a great father, and who will be a fabulous grandfather.

To me you cannot be fully human, fully civilised, unless you recognise humanity in everyone.

When I was younger and women first started to get in public positions, in my case the law, we went through a period where we wore those little ribbon ties, little bows. We tried to figure out what was our appropriate dress.

The United States, obviously, has a great interest in helping to maintain peace and security in Europe, and we have a formal alliance, NATO, to do so.

I would be delighted if the United States could have a positive relationship with Russia, and I would be thrilled if the Russian people, who are so capable, had a normal country that they could chart a different future.

When it comes to the Middle East, this is always a very difficult issue for any American president.

I learned to be far more skeptical of what I'm told by presidents, no matter who the presidents are, and also to be much more cautious, always, in any action or vote that could lead to the use of American military power and most particularly what we call 'boots on the ground.'

The most important questions for anybody thinking of running for president are not 'Will you run and can you win?' There is, 'What is your vision for America? And can you lead us there?'

I'm somebody who gets up every day and says, 'What am I going to do today, and how am I going to do it?' I think it moves me toward some outcome I'm hoping for and also has some, you know, some joy attached to it.

I really get up every day and try to deal with the problems that are in front of me, and I don't really worry about history. That will work itself out over time.

There is nothing fast or easy about diplomacy. I have no illusions about that.

I want to work with my husband and my daughter on our mutual foundation interests.

I have a lot of reason to believe, as we saw in the 2012 election, most Americans don't agree with the extremists on any side of an issue, but there needs to continue to be an effort to find common ground, or even take it to higher ground on behalf of the future.

My overall goal is to level the playing field for American businesses.

If you can't compete fairly, honestly, effectively, no government should intervene. Now, some governments do. They prop up failing industries.
