I'm used to people not paying me a whole lot of attention and underestimating me and, frankly, for me a big challenge is to have people believe that I can be the president of the United States.

People tried to dismiss my candidacy when I ran for the United States Senate against an incumbent in 1992, and I had little money... And so I believe that so long as we have enough to keep going, to keep our operation going, to get to the point that people -- the people can speak, not just the money. The money primary is one thing, but the people's votes in the end will determine who wins,

I'm the president of the United States. I'm not the emperor of the United States.

The United States can't be sheriff of the whole world.

If I missed my moment, I missed my moment. I mean, I wasn't pining to be president of the United States.

No, I believe in the good will of the United States' administration.
