My late mother was very clear to my sister and I that we were to be strong women; that we were to be effective; that we were to be heard.
Christine Quinn
I have always said I've had a big personality, and I've always said I'm a pushy broad, and I've always said I want to get things done.
Christine Quinn
When I was running for speaker, people would go out of their way to point out why I wasn't going to win: 'You're a woman, you're too liberal, you're gay, you're from the West Side of Manhattan,' which in that context was an insult.

Christine Quinn

Christine Quinn
I'm not about talking and finger-pointing and complaining. I'm about getting things done.
Christine Quinn
I'm going to do whatever I have to do to help a New Yorker, whether it's a girl on the street or a tenant in a housing development.
Christine Quinn

Christine Quinn
When you stand up there and do a press conference, it's a very preoccupied moment. You're standing in front of cameras; people are watching you; it's not so easy to be at ease.
Christine Quinn
People have said I can come off a little trial-lawyerish. I tell people I never actually became a lawyer, but I play one at City Hall.
Christine Quinn
I have a tendency toward being a micromanager.
Christine Quinn
I understand that not everyone agrees with my perspective on Ray Kelly. But what you gotta look at here is somebody like Bill de Blasio talking out of both sides of his mouth and trying to have it both ways on a really critical issue like stop-and-frisk.
Christine Quinn
I think it's really important to realize that small businesses are often the portal for immigrants into the New York City economy. I think we have something like 40,000 small businesses that are immigrant-run in New York.
Christine Quinn
