"Will you help me build a bridge to the 21st century?" - 1996 "I didn't inhale" - in 1992, responding to a question about whether he ever smoked pot (2 October 2002 at the UK Labour Party Conference): "It's good to be in a place where our crowd are still in office." "What's the sacrifice that's being asked of people who make more than $1 million per year? It's the energy they have to expend opening the envelopes containing their tax cuts" "Look how much time you spent asking me these questions. And that's why people like you always help the far right because you like to hurt people, and you like to talk about how bad people are and all their personal failings. Look - you made a decision to allocate your time in a certain way. You should take responsibility for that. You should say 'Yes, I care much more about this [the Lewinsky affair] than whether the Bosnian people were saved, than whether 27 million people had jobs at the end, and whether we moved a hundred times as many people out of poverty as Reagan and Bush.' This is what I care about." - To British TV interviewer David Dimbleby after Dimbleby persisted in questioning him about Monica Lewinsky. "In some ways she [Hillary] would be better because of what we did together. First, she has the Senate experience I didn't have. Second, she would have had the eight years in the White House. I think she wouldn't make as many mistakes because, you know, we're older and more mature, and she is far more experienced now in all the relevant ways than I was when I took office. So I think in a way she has the best of both worlds." "That's the difference in me and some, including all of the right-wingers who are attacking me now. They ridiculed me for trying [to kill Osama bin Laden]. They had eight months [before September 11th] to try; they did not try."
