- The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race…It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be superseded.
- Whatever your views are on EITs (Enhanced Interrogation Techniques), our nation and in particular this agency did a lot of things right during this difficult time to keep this country strong and secure.
- My son was 12 years old, just a baby, a baby, my baby, the youngest out of four…I want to thank the nation for supporting us. That’s the only way I’m standing today - that I’m standing right now.
- I hear a lot of people say, 'Hey, it's been two years, things should be getting better.' But experts tell us from a recovery standpoint, [Newtown is] in its infancy.
- I think we may need to call [Obamacare] something in the future different, but it is working…Obamacare, no question, has a very bad brand that has been driven intentionally by a lot of misinformation and a lot of paid advertising.
- Many of the naysayers out there said that Utah would never elect a black, Republican, LDS (Mormon) woman to Congress. Not only did we do it, we were the first to do it.

- In South Carolina - in America - it takes a generation to go from having a grandfather who is picking cotton, to a grandson in Congress. We are thankful for those trailblazers who came before us and said the status quo was not enough…Our values and our issues are central. The most important things we have to offer are on the inside. This is the testament to progress made.
- If the ways that we’re approaching the Republicans in Congress [aren’t] working, I’m going to try different things -- whether it’s having a drink with Mitch McConnell or letting John Boehner beat me again at golf, or weekly press conferences - I don’t know if that would be effective…Whatever I think might make a difference in this, I’m going to be trying out up until my last day in office.
- [Sandy Hook] was the one that was supposed to make a difference. It wasn't a high school. The victims were 20 first graders, 6-year-olds, along with six staff members. But the numbers indicate nothing much has changed. Sandy Hook turned out to be not a call to action, but a gruesome standard from which all inaction can be judged.

- [Robin Williams] made all these people feel great. And at the same time, knowing that he had this sense of … what I make up in my mind - this low sense of self-worth, of belonging, of loneliness, of pain that all the money in the world can't cure. All the accolades and awards, and all the love from people all over the world … all that love could still not stop that man from saying, 'I am in so much pain.
