To change our laws and culture, the green movement must attract and include the majority of all people, not just the majority of affluent people.

I hope everybody's getting smarter.

On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide. I have been inundated with calls - from across the political spectrum -- urging me to 'stay and fight.' But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.

I'm learning and changing all the time, and I expect to continue doing so my entire life.

We have gotten to the point where we're more like [Donald] Trump than Trump. Trump is hateful. Now you have liberals hating on love. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. There's nothing wrong with that. But sometimes you have to fight fire with water. I'm happy to fight it either way.

Playing the villain gets you higher ratings on reality TV and saying outrageous stuff on Twitter gets you more followers.
