Kimberly Guilfoyle

“My most defining moment was the death of my mother.”

“I don't always think I am right, not by a long shot, but no one stifles me. When I care deeply about something, you are going to know.”

“Putting yourself in a position to observe and work with the pros, whether you are paid or not, is key to helping you make the kinds of strides that set you out in front of the pack.”

“I am a strong woman. I come from a background as a prosecutor.”

“You really have to prove yourself and prove your worth. I didn't come from family that had been here for generations and had all these connections.”

“Nobody was like, 'Kimberly, we're going to let you anchor general news or host a show or do any of that.' I at first started out doing legal analysis, but I had to make the case to my bosses... give me a shot, give me a chance, and I was able to do that: say, 'Let me fill in. Let me show you my range. Nothing to lose here - it's the holidays.'”

“It's not just teachers, but coaches are helping to shape the young people of tomorrow.”

“I would come here, too. Who doesn't want a free ride? I want to ride in the carnival for free all day long and put my whole family on welfare.”

“I really saw my mom advocate on my behalf and really say, 'Hey, you're good enough.' It was from her that I learned that just because something hasn't been done before, it doesn't mean it can't be done now. You have to speak up, and you've got to assert yourself because it takes somebody to be the first one to make it happen.”

“If you put your mind to it, anything is possible.”

“I believe it is my job to do everything I can so that everyone in our society feels safe, feels that justice is not an abstract concept but a fact of life for all Americans.”

“Defendants would groan whenever they saw me enter a courtroom because I had a reputation for coming armed with the facts and for winning cases.”

“I just feel so blessed to have had the time that I had with my mother. She made it so impactful in terms of how she raised me and my little brother, the values that she instilled in us, the way she inspired us, and how she lived her everyday life.”

“Sadly, as a seasoned prosecutor, I know what dark acts people are capable of.”

“I think it's very insulting to say, 'White people don't understand.' What are you talking about? You're part of the problem then if you're... speaking and labeling all white people, saying they don't understand the issue or saying they can't relate. That's really not giving people much credit, is it?”

“I come from a strong woman who believed - and my father believed - that anything a man could do, a woman could do better.”

“Roger Ailes, he's incredible. He's the one that created 'The Five' and came up with the idea for it.”

“God helps those who help themselves. You have blessings. You have gifts. You have passion. You have drive. Get after it; go in there and do something. Try and make every day count.”

“I've known Roger Ailes for 15 years, and I have been treated with the utmost professionalism and respect.”

“I've been around all kinds of people, defense attorneys, working with cops, working with politicians, both sides of the aisle, including Democrats as former first lady of San Francisco, and the Republicans, too, so I've had a front row seat to lots of things in life.”
