The torch America carries is one of decency and hope. It is not America's torch alone. But it is America's duty - and honor - to hold it high enough that all the world can see its light.

I'm getting more towards that point where I'm ready to kind of pass the torch on and see the next generation succeed behind me.

I've been amazed by the numbers that have come out to see the torch relay, so being a part of it is lovely.

We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own.

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

It's sort of my job to feel good.

At the end of the day, I'm reading the news. I'm not digging ditches. I'm not fighting fires. It's a long day, and it's a lot of responsibility, and it can be a little bewildering sometimes with the schedule. But, you know, it's a job, and they pay me well to do a job.

I am building a fire, and everyday I train, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match.

I have done what I felt to be my duty.
