I think there's no higher calling in terms of a career than public service, which is a chance to make a difference in people's lives and improve the world.

Public service must be more than doing a job efficiently and honestly. It must be a complete dedication to the people and to the nation.

While service in the Department of Justice is itself one of the highest forms of public service, the Department further strides to increase access to justice for all and to strengthen our communities.

I'm not in a position to go back into public service.

You wouldn't run for the United States Senate or for governor or for anything else without answering people's questions about what you believe. And I think the Supreme Court is no different.

I just don't believe in the basic concept that someone should make their whole career in public service.

I am running for Attorney General because I believe there is no higher calling than the pursuit of justice.

I have always served the public to the best of my ability. Why? Because, like every other man, it is to my interest to do so.

I believe if a private citizen is able to affect public opinion in a constructive way he doesn't have to be an elected public servant to perform a public service.
