“If you are a junior member of a minority party - one of 100 people - in the U.S. Senate, what really can you do? Well, you're just going to get frustrated.”

“I am aware of how government works.”

“We have to fundamentally change the way people are elected to political office in this country, as well as the types of people that are going into political office. It's dysfunctional because people on each side are only talking to themselves - they're not talking to each other and that is a function of how they get elected.”

“We have come a very, very long way and Michael Bloomberg has been at the forefront of that change.”

“If I were to run for Senate, my calculation is, what kind of an impact am I going to have were I to win?”

“I've always had my own career and my own stuff that I was working on.”

“One thing that I found is that everybody has an interesting story.”

“I am totally pro-non-partisan elections.”

“I have basically fallen into everything I've ever done.”

“I love going to parks.”

“I have a really close family, and I'm proud of the life I've created for myself.”

“I think that non-partisan primaries would be great.”

“I've basically seen opportunities as they come up and they've turned out to be really good ones.”

“I'm often being singled out because of who my significant other is. That's nice when his approval rating is 70 percent, not so nice when it's not.”

“I love Joe Biden, but he's not going to defeat Donald Trump. He's not. He doesn't have the energy and, quite frankly, he has a lot of baggage.”

“I think one of the problem that most women have is that they're not really good at advocating for themselves. They're great at advocating for other people.”

“I never had to run home and help anybody with their homework.”

“It's always disconcerting when somebody comes over to you on the bus and says, 'I know who you are.'”

“I think that at the end of a third term, I don't care how good you've been, people are looking for something different. And I think as time goes on, there won't be so much 'anti-Bloomberg.' It'll be 'We just wanted a change,' which I can understand.”

“You should never quit your day job.”
