In an interview with NBC News slated to air Tuesday and Wednesday, outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she felt confident that her health and stamina would rebound for any future task she should set before herself, a run for president or otherwise.

“How much will health, your own personal health — we know that you had at least two clots — how does that factor into a decision about whether you run for President and all the flying that it entails?” asked NBC’s Andrea Mitchell.

“Well it doesn’t factor in at all,” Clinton responded. “I mean, you know that, I have no doubt that I am healthy enough and my stamina is great enough and I’ll be fully recovered to do whatever I choose to do. But I don’t have any decisions made. I have no real plans to make any such decisions. I’m looking forward to some very quiet time catching up on everything from sleep, to reading, to walking, with my family. I think it’s hard to imagine for me what it will be like next week when I wake up and I have nowhere to go. Maybe I’ll go back to sleep for a change!”
