It's good I was born in Brooklyn. You learn how to take care of yourself.

Even if I have to stand alone, I will not be afraid to stand alone. I'm going to fight for you. I'm going to fight for what's right. I'm going to fight to hold people accountable

I believe in truth-telling. So let's call it what it is. It's very troubling to see people like Bannon who make anti-Semitic remarks, who has a very checkered past be sitting next to the president of the United States. It puts an absolute responsibility on all of us to call it the way we see it and not use expressions like "alt-right."

If you want to be a leader, it doesn't mean that you have to have an opinion on everything. But if you do have an opinion and it is clear and you feel strongly about it, then you should say it.

I'm hopeful that the energy efficiency and public buildings bill will have their endorsement.

In America, the system itself of democracy is being threatened.

Nothing is alarmist with Donald Trump because you don't really know what he's going to do.
