"I love it here," he said, looking back on his 25 years at Apple. "I can't imagine life without Apple, so I'll be here for a while."

Cook replied, "I can't say, but what I want to say is that my job is to find a few people who are capable of taking over, and I really want the next chief executive to come from within Apple. So this is my role: to give the board a few people to choose from."
