I want to be a better Chris Quinn. I don't want to be a different Chris Quinn.

I have a tendency toward being a micromanager. Which, the bigger the project you're involved in, the harder that becomes.

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.

Anybody that I can work with that will help improve the lives of New Yorkers, I will work with that person.

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.

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

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