“I met Donald Trump in 2003 on a reality show. Could you ever imagine then that we would end up in the White House together?”

“I would not make the mistake of ever speaking for Mr. Trump, because he does so well with being candid and direct with the voters.”

“What does not come across on paper for Donald Trump is how incredibly charismatic he is, his ability to connect with people. Because he has this bigger-than-life personality, you don't realize how personable he is.”

“It was important for me to join the White House because as I looked around Trump's inner circle and campaign, there were not a lot of African-Americans, particularly African-American women, uniquely positioned to serve as a member of the senior staff, to serve as an assistant to the president.”

“In some ways, I was looking for a father figure, and I found that in Donald Trump.”

“I'm a die-hard Hillary Clinton supporter.”

“Donald J. Trump is not only a racist but a misogynist and a bigot.”

“I believe the first reason that Donald Trump is running for president is because he truly believes that he can help turn the nation around. The second reason I believe is that this is the greatest position in the world, to be at the center of political power, of the universe.”

“Donald Trump was my friend for 15 years.”

“I knew I had to cover my back and document what I saw as an opportunity to kind of blow the whistle on a lot of the corruption going on in the White House, and I knew that I needed to document that corruption; otherwise, people would not take it seriously.”

“I am a reality TV legend. I am most famous for the first season of 'The Apprentice,' and then I had an opportunity to work in Washington in the Trump White House.”

“I'm not a doctor. I can only assess that Donald Trump that I knew in 2003 and the Donald Trump that I knew in 2017. And he is not the same man.”

“There are different facets to everyone. When you're at work, you're a different person. When you're with your friends, you're a different person.”

“No one can understand how close a marriage actually is. You just don't know: with a husband and wife, they have a special connection.”

“I'm a huge UFC fan. I train. I do jiu-jitsu, taekwondo.”

“Donald Trump talks about everyone behind their backs.”

“As Donald says, I am his Valerie Jarrett.”

“Sarah Huckabee stands in front of the country and lies every single day.”

“I grew up in poverty, so I thought, 'I want to be a billionaire one day. I'll go and work for Donald Trump. I'll go try to be on 'The Apprentice' and be successful.' But 15 years later, I never would imagine that he, as the president of the United States, would call me a low life.”

“You never want to be on the receiving end of Donald Trump being disappointed in you.”
