I am proud of the fact that women have been recognised as being as capable, as able to do the senior jobs in Europe as any man.
In the EU you have half a billion people who share a common belief in democracy, in rights, in the kind of economic life we want.
Im not interested in the limelight.
I was the first woman British commissioner, the first woman trade commissioner, so I am also proud to be the first woman High Representative.
I look for the consensus because the consensus drives the policy into new places.
Am I an ego on legs? No I am not. Do I want to be seen out there all the time saying everything? No, I don't.
Judge me on what I do and I think you will be pleased and proud of me.
