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

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

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

I'm an aggressive woman who gets things done, and that's the way it is, and I've never been embarrassed about the fact that I am pushy.

If you don't like me, life goes on, you know what I mean? But I hope you do like me. Because I think that in addition to being pushy, I'm nice.

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'm in a position where, if you have the ability, you should use it well. To get things done.
