Al Gore has been one of my closest friends since the day we met, on the first day of college, 35 years ago.

I look at the Senior Al Gore that I had the chance to serve in the Senate with. A great human being. He went down to defeat to this right wing bunch back at the time.

I've had to step up when I was Al Gore's campaign manager. I had to make significant changes as we moved from Washington, D.C. to Tennessee.

I've known Al Gore since he was born. He has been the best little boy, he was a boring child, and he has never done anything wrong.

I am Al Gore, and I used to be the next president of the United States of America.

My mother, she worked in the mayor's office in Chicago when I was growing up and has been in democratic politics for a long time.

My mother was a politician in my formative years.

I was introduced to Congressman Lyndon B. Johnson. The young Congressman was very friendly.

My grandmother had great influence on me. She was secretary of state in the 1970's, and that's when I was born. She showed me the importance of public service, and she was admired by people regardless of their political party.

I have good relationships with Hillary Clinton, Joseph Biden and especially Richard Holbrooke - he is my teacher. I learned a lot of great things from him.
