Michael Avenatti

“I think I've always acted confident, even at times I haven't been confident.”

“Michael Cohen is one of the world's greatest evidence hoarders. He rarely threw anything away.”

“Donald Trump is either going to resign, he's going to be removed from office by impeachment, or I'm going to beat him in 2020. But one way or the other, he's not going to serve a second term.”

“I would not describe myself as a Trump hater.”

“We live in a different media age, a different realm if you will. And whoever is going to aspire to the presidency is going to need to understand what that realm entails and how to navigate it.”

“Being president isn't a solo position. You surround yourself with highly qualified people that are smarter about issues than you are. But that's not enough. You then have to listen to them.”

“I'm not going to opine as to whether I think a particular candidate can beat Donald Trump or not.”

“I have a lot of notoriety now because of the Stormy Daniels case. I was less well known before outside of legal circles.”

“My past business dealings, my personal life, who I'm dating, the details of my divorce, other business matters that I've had - all that should be completely off-limits.”

“Just like there is nothing wrong with calling out unethical attorneys, there is nothing wrong with calling out unethical journalists.”

“The kind of work I do, there's usually a lot of money on the line; there are jobs on the line. It's not a world that lends itself to everyone being friendly all the time. We're certainly not sitting around holding hands singing 'Kumbaya.'”

“Michael Cohen is a criminal, and he deserves the max penalty.”
