I feel like my grandparents and parents gave me a tremendous amount. And if I can pass some of that on, then I'll be very happy.

I'm not as shy as everybody makes me out to be.

I have a lifelong devotion to public service.

I know my mother so well, so it's hard for me to remember that people have a certain image of her, but they don't really know her personality.

I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president - not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans.

We need a President who is not afraid of complexity, who believes in an open and tolerant society, and who knows that the world can be made new again - and that President is Al Gore.

Growing up in politics I know that women decide all elections because we do all the work.
