I certainly support civil unions.

You know, every family and every business in California knows what it means to go through tough times.

The truth is in California you can't build a new manufacturing facility, and businesses are leaving in droves because of bad government policy.

You know, I'm very proud of the large number of Hispanic endorsements that I've received.

It's the federal government's job to secure the border.

Once I dive in, I dive in all the way.

Very ugly things were said about me.

I think somehow men understand other men's need for respect differently than they understand it for a woman. I'm disappointed to have to say that, but I think it's undeniably true.

I think a strong dollar is the result of policies, but I don't think the strong dollar is in and of itself a policy.

I think bolstering free trade is a boon to the dollar.

Fiscal policy is not just, or even not even principally, the purview of the president.

Well, I've been a Republican for all of my voting life.

Well I think money has been going into political campaigns for a very long time.

I think what's fascinating is how many people are playing in politics who maybe haven't played before.

People have decided that career politicians may be part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Of course people think Washington is arrogant. It is.

You take unacceptable risk, you have to be prepared to face the consequence.

What I have said to people is that I've lived the American dream, because I have.

I started out as a receptionist. I typed, I filed, I answered the phones for a little nine-person company.

If you have a line of business - I know this as a CEO - or if you have a teenager - I know this as a parent - who have a spending problem, what do you do? You quit giving them money.

Well, first, if I am fortunate enough to be elected to the U.S. Senate, it won't be a party that will have elected me. It will be the people of California.

You know, I believe that technology is the great leveler. Technology permits anybody to play. And in some ways, I think technology - it's not only a great tool for democratization, but it's a great tool for eliminating prejudice and advancing meritocracies.

You can find lots of people like you through technology, and women in particular like communities.

My goodness, my hair's been talked about by a million people, you know? It sort of goes with the territory.

Politics exist in the boardroom, as well.

When you lead change, sometimes you get arrows in your back. I mean, that's just the way the real world is.

You don't create jobs by passing bills, you create jobs by cutting taxes.

I don't take on a fight just for a fight. I don't tilt at windmills.

If a decision-making process is flawed and dysfunctional, decisions will go awry.

A boardroom is a collection of individuals, and individuals have varying motives, egos, agendas and qualifications. Sometimes the dynamics can go off track.

If values matter in an organisation, you have to be prepared to act consistently.

When men cut jobs, they're seen as decisive. When women do, they're vindictive.

I think it would help tremendously to have a senator that knows where jobs come from, that knows how to create them, that knows how to bring them back and, importantly, knows what it means to manage billions of dollars' worth of expenses and cut billions of dollars' worth of expenses.

I don't give up on commitments until what I've been asked to do is clearly finished.

A woman's experience is different from a man's in virtually every respect, including how she is treated by the media.

People who don't fit the mold are treated differently than those who do.

I love being a woman. I like dressing up; I love buying shoes.

I think when you've been a career politician for 34 years you have to run on your record.

I mean there are many people who have endorsed me that I agree with on some things and not others.

I really believe that all CEO pay should be voted on by shareholders ahead of time. Mine was.

Hillary Clinton lies about Benghazi, she lied about emails, she is still defending Planned Parenthood, and she is still her party's frontrunner.

I know more world leaders on the stage today than anyone running, with perhaps the exception of Hillary Clinton.

I didn't get a phone call from Bill Clinton before I jumped in the race ... maybe it's because I hadn't given money to the foundation or donated to his wife's senate race.

2016 is going to be a fight. A fight between conservatism and a Democrat Party that is undermining the very character of our nation.

Whatever your issue, your cause, the festering problem you thought would be resolved - the political class has failed you.

We need to be very well aware of the fact that China and Russia are using technology to attack us, just as ISIS is using technology to recruit those who would murder American citizens.

I learned long ago that the most effective way to compete is to play your own game, and I've been competing with men my whole life.

I understand how the economy actually works.

I think 4 percent growth is a good goal. And I think the fact that we have become used to an economy that sort of putt putts along between 1 and 2 percent is sort of tragic.

Crony capitalism is alive and well: the big are bigger, the wealthy are getting wealthier because, with a very large powerful complicated government, which is what we have and which Democrats want more of, only the big, the powerful, the wealthy and the well connected can survive.
