A funny thing happened on the way to the election - I got to the Senate first.

I will not be responsible for the loss of the Democratic majority in the United States Senate.

I loved being in the Senate. That was a wonderful experience.

I never thought I would end up being the Senator from New York.

Well, I was 29 years old when I came to the United States Senate, and I have learned a lot.

I do not take my obligations as a senator lightly.

I can honestly say that being a United States Senator has been the honor of my life.

I was never supposed to make it to Congress. I was a staff person.

Many times, the Senate talks of things and never gets anything through.
