“You show people what you’re willing to fight for when you fight your friends.”

Gay rights are human rights.

Americans need a champion and I want to be that champion.

You have to be true to yourself.

It should never be a crime to be gay.

I’m running for president because everyday Americans and their families need a champion, and I want to be that champion. I want to make the words middle class mean something again.

Over the years, we have lost millions of decent paying jobs. These trade agreements have forced wages down in America so the average worker in America today is working longer hours for lower wages.

I am all about new beginnings. A new grandchild, another new hairstyle, a new email account. Why not a new relationship with the press?

No nation can meet the world’s challenges alone.

I have not supported same-sex marriage. I have supported civil partnerships and contractual relationships.

Probably my worst quality is that I get very passionate about what I think is right.

It’s impossible to know what happens in the fog of war.

Women standing up for each other is critically important.

I want to teach. I want to speak. I want to travel.

I’m undaunted in my quest to amuse myself by constantly changing my hair.

Hard men present hard choices – none more so than Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia.

Motown, Motown, that’s my era. Those are my people.

The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.

The man who fights for his ideals is alive.

The best fights are the ones we avoid.

I have known many happy marriages, but never a compatible one. The whole aim of marriage is to fight through and survive the instant when incompatibility becomes unquestionable. For a man and a woman, as such, are incompatible.

It’s better to fight because if you don’t fight, you can’t win. Besides, even when you don’t win, you can change the game.

Women have fought so long and hard for our rights and equality, and now all our attention is put on being a size 0.

You’re a fighter. You just forgot.

Learn to be difficult when it counts. In school as in life, having a reputation for being assertive will help you receive preferential treatment without having to beg or fight for it every time.
