I like the job. That's what I'll miss the most... I'm not sure anybody ever liked this as much as I've liked it

I did not run for this job just to warm the seat. I desperately want to make a difference.

I thought we were (friends). Now I'm not so sure. He's got a job to do, and we've got a job to do. We don't need to do each other's jobs.

There's not a single, solitary shred of evidence that I did anything wrong. . . .

But I always think, when somebody attacks you, if it's not fair and you let them get away with it, it's your fault.

if you've ever worked in a White House, you know damn well it's not background noise. It's affecting everything you do as president.
