Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on her first eight months on the job:

"It is a really hard job . . . a 24-7 job. . . . I feel the weight of it pretty significantly."

"I consider myself the president's chief foreign policy adviser, the country's chief diplomat and the State Department's chief executive."

"At the end of the day, you have to be part of a team that is there to serve the country and the president who the country elected."
