I’m a lesbian. Yup. Hundred percent. Hundred percent. I remember being in college, and I had fallen in love with this woman, and I remember sitting in my dorm room saying out loud to myself, like, ‘You have enough problems. You are not gonna let this happen.’ You just kinda, like, stuff it away until - well, some people stuff it away forever Picture Quote #1

I try to not think too much about how stuff gets seen as it’s being done by a woman.

You’re kind of not present Picture Quote #1

Being an activist is about getting things done. It’s not about standing around shaking your fist in anger Picture Quote #1

I have a tendency toward being a micromanager. Which, the bigger the project you’re involved in, the harder that becomes Picture Quote #1

For better or worse, when you’re running for mayor, there’s a little bit of a spotlight on you Picture Quote #1

I come as one package deal. An Irish lesbian who wakes up every day and goes to work. And I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about being ‘the first this’ or ‘the first that’ because it would take up space in my brain Picture Quote #1

I’m tough, I’m pushy, I’m really loud. I used to spend a lot of time thinking about it. But we only have so much brain capacity, so if I’m spending part of my brain thinking about how I’m acting, A, I’m not spending all of my brain doing, and B, I’m not actually in that moment Picture Quote #1

I’m a lesbian. Yup. Hundred percent. Hundred percent. I remember being in college, and I had fallen in love with this woman, and I remember sitting in my dorm room saying out loud to myself, like, ‘You have enough problems. You are not gonna let this happen.’ Picture Quote #1

The library of my elementary school had this great biography section, and I read all of these paperback biographies until they were dog-eared. The story of Eleanor Roosevelt and Madame Curie and Martin Luther King and George Washington Carver and on and on and on Picture Quote #1

Bike lanes are clearly controversial. And one of the problems with bike lanes - and I’m generally a supporter of bike lanes - but one of the problems with bike lanes has been not the concept of them, which I support, but the way the Department of Transportation has implemented them without consultation with communities and community boards Picture Quote #1

I have big emotions, and I care deeply about delivering for New Yorkers, and sometimes that means you got to push things forward - and I think New Yorkers know that Picture Quote #1

Bike lanes - I put that now in the category of things you shouldn’t discuss at dinner parties, right? It used to be money and politics and religion. Now, in New York, you should add bike lanes Picture Quote #1

You might as well go through life the way you want to. If what you want is to be engaged and forceful, to ‘lean in,’ well, do that Picture Quote #1

I’m in a position where, if you have the ability, you should use it well. To get things done Picture Quote #1

Am I pushy? Yep. Do I like taking ‘no’ for an answer when ‘no’ means New Yorkers aren’t going to get something they need? No. Do I push back and crack some eggs? Absolutely Picture Quote #1

I’m an aggressive woman who gets things done, and that’s the way it is, and I’ve never been embarrassed about the fact that I am pushy Picture Quote #1

If you don’t like me, life goes on, you know what I mean? But I hope you do like me. Because I think that in addition to being pushy, I’m nice Picture Quote #1

I’m not about talking and finger-pointing and complaining. I’m about getting things done Picture Quote #1

We all think people deserve second chances. None of us are perfect Picture Quote #1

At times, you need to be forceful to get things that are stuck unstuck Picture Quote #1
