It would be thrilling, obviously, to be able to have a woman and an openly LGBT person as the mayor of New York City.

Being an activist is about getting things done. It's not about standing around shaking your fist in anger.

I'm going to do whatever I have to do to help a New Yorker, whether it's a girl on the street or a tenant in a housing development.

I have always said I've had a big personality, and I've always said I'm a pushy broad, and I've always said I want to get things done.

I really believe, when you come out of hiding, in whatever way you're hiding, you get to go out into the sunlight.

For better or worse, when you're running for mayor, there's a little bit of a spotlight on you.

I'm in a position where, if you have the ability, you should use it well. To get things done.
