I want to be Governor of New Jersey. I ran for Governor of New Jersey. I'm not Woodrow Wilson. You have to be in your gut and in your heart ready to President if you decide to run for that. I simply do not have the desire to do it, nor do I think I'm ready."
"In my judgment, if you're going to try to do something like you have to absolutely believe in your heart and mind that you want to do it and that you're ready to do it."
On running for Vice President:
"Is there anybody around here who thinks I could be a number two to anybody? It'd be kind of hard. It'd be tough for me to be number two to anybody. Now is the time for me to focus on being Governor. While I am flattered by all this, I really am. On the other hand, I know who I am."
