I'm going to do whatever I have to do to help a New Yorker, whether it's a girl on the street or a tenant in a housing development.

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

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.

It would be thrilling, obviously, to be able to have a woman and an openly LGBT person as the mayor of New York City.

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.

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 just want people to know you can get through stuff. I hope people can see that in what my life has been and where it is going.

Being an activist is about getting things done. It's not about standing around shaking your fist in anger.

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

We all think people deserve second chances. None of us are perfect.

At times, you need to be forceful to get things that are stuck unstuck.

I look for you in every life, but I don't always find you. And sometimes I find you too late.

There is no end to the things you don’t understand. The mind will search for a lie to give it an answer you can understand, but one song at the right time will challenge what you accept.

Anyway, You need to focus only on you.

When you find yourself looking ridiculous, reasoning isn't worth a damn.

I believe that when you work on yourself, you are attracted by different, more positive beings.

You think in a different way when you don't have any money. The joy of poverty is that you use your imagination to come up with stuff.

Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.

The way you become divine is to become wholly human

True devotion is for itself: not to desire heaven nor to fear hell.

So few people know what they're capable of.
