I will bring to closure this sad episode and put us on the road to healing and the future.

I used a common New York expression that means you're foolish.

I think I am the best and I have the energy and I love it and love it because I make a difference.

Commissioner, we need this thing.

The potholes represent the hopes and aspirations of our people, and the little people have needs, ... I fight with the bureaucrats every day, because they have to be told they are not the people who run the government, and they exist for the people.

It's been a great honor to be in a position where I could help and work and make a difference.
