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

My mother would organize huge parties for my elementary school classmates. To prepare, she would go back to the bakery in her old neighborhood of Inwood and get special shamrock cookies. Hawaiian Punch was served and we had shamrock napkins. It was a lot of fun.

I have a tendency toward being a micromanager.

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

I couldn't be more proud of my work as a progressive.

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

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