“Running for attorney general troubled me. Because I was worried I would simply become just a figurehead and that's not me.”

“The American people are frustrated.”

“I don't believe I should be out running for another office instead of running my office.”

“I'm very happy being attorney general.”

“I'd never discuss anything confidential.”

“That job should not be a political job. We should not be hearing very publicly from the leader of the FBI.”

“I would never, ever trade any campaign donation - that's absurd - for some type of favor to anyone.”

“I will not be collateral damage in a presidential campaign, nor will I be a woman bullied by Hillary Clinton.”

“All I'm going to say is I put my hand on a Bible, and I raised my right hand and swore to uphold the Constitution of the state of Florida.”

“I'm proud to be among a bipartisan group of state attorneys general who consistently advocate against government infringement of Americans' Second Amendment rights.”

“Let's just focus on unity and love.”

“I have many, many gay friends.”

“I can only focus on doing what's right.”

“Historically, there has been a clear and essential connection between marriage and responsible procreation and child rearing.”

“The promotion of family continuity and stability is a legitimate state interest.”

“Businesses across the country are raising their prices in order to compensate for their added costs due to Obama's health care plan. If they aren't raising prices, they're cutting jobs as a result of the added cost, both of which hurt our economy.”

“I've done so many commencement speeches at colleges and law schools, and I tell young women that there are no glass ceilings because those were broken by a lot of women who came before us. You can be anyone you want to be. You can do anything you want to do.”

“Despite the vigorous policy and legal debates surrounding same-sex marriage, there is little disagreement about this: If the United States Supreme Court holds that states must sanction same-sex marriage, then Florida's contrary laws must fall.”

“No access to me, nor my staff, will ever affect what we do to protect consumers of the state of Florida.”

“I do not want to be sheriff of Hillsborough County, seriously.”
