[Fighting for equality for women] that's what my mission has been for the last years.

It really felt like a tidal wave of bias washed over our country and we're still soaked in it.

When I get this kind of support, I feel validated in my decision to stand up for myself.

We have to raise our young boys to respect women and our young girls to demand respect and to get their values from something other than their physicality.

We had to communicate through our lawyers a couple of times over the years, and [David Petraeus] told me that people have been like, "Good job, Dave." Congratulating him. That's the double standard. I've concluded that sharing it won't change anything.

I'm not in love with David Petraeus. But I think he does present a terrific role model.

I think the public doesn't understand that one of the reasons I haven't stood up for myself is because in order to do that, I have to stoop to a level that further humiliates other people.
