I'm tough, I'm pushy, I'm really loud. I used to spend a lot of time thinking about it. But we only have so much brain capacity, so if I'm spending part of my brain thinking about how I'm acting, A, I'm not spending all of my brain doing, and B, I'm not actually in that moment.
From Christine Quinn
I'm in a position where, if you have the ability, you should use it well. To get things done.
There will be a moment in life, whether you're forceful or not, where someone will label you something that is negative.
I'm tough, and you know what? New Yorkers deserve that. They work head, they fight it out, they slug it out. And they deserve a mayor or a speaker who's going to do the same.
Consensus doesn't happen by magic... You have to drive to it.
It would be thrilling, obviously, to be able to have a woman and an openly LGBT person as the mayor of New York City.
My late mother was very clear to my sister and I that we were to be strong women; that we were to be effective; that we were to be heard.
At the end of the day, somebody someday is going to say something about you. At least you can look back and say you lived the way you wanted to.
I have a tendency toward being a micromanager.
My favorite app is 'StumbleUpon,' because it just gives you interesting things that are sometimes exactly the stuff I'm interested in and sometimes just silly and funny.
