I'm not about talking and finger-pointing and complaining; I'm about getting things done.

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

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

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.

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

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.
