I couldn't describe how little interest I have in men. Or I could - but I don't think that it would be appropriate.

I just want people to know you can get through stuff. I hope people can see that in what my life has been and where it is going.

I have a tendency toward being a micromanager.

We all think people deserve second chances. None of us are perfect.

I'm just not gonna let up until I know I've done absolutely everything I can for New Yorkers.

People used to feel oddly empowered to tell me all the reasons I couldn't win. Because I was a woman. Because I was a lesbian. Because I was from the West Side of Manhattan.

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