When you stand up there and do a press conference, it's a very preoccupied moment. You're standing in front of cameras; people are watching you; it's not so easy to be at ease.

Consensus doesn't happen by magic... You have to drive to it.

I hope there is nothing about me that people have a big problem with. You know, I like to think of myself as lovable.

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.

The best thing to know is what you don't know.

Don't keep your own schedule - that will eat too much of your time keeping your own schedule. And when you are tired, stop. Because if you are too tired, you become not productive, and you are wasting time.

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