Gloria Allred

Well, let me just say - I mean, I'm not a person who's going to vote for any of the potential Republican nominees for the presidency of the United States.

Well, I like empowering my clients.

I do believe that, under the law, under the Constitution of the United States, and under our public policy, that women deserve and should have a right to enjoy equal employment opportunity.

As my father would have said, I went through the college of hard knocks.

I'm a civil rights attorney. I'm a victim rights attorney.

I'm pretty tough.

I cannot take every case that people ask me to take.

I have represented people in book deals.

I'm proud that my clients are working to support themselves and those who depend on them.

Male privilege and entitlement are dying a very painful death; no one gives up power without a struggle.

I'm not an elected official who puts a finger in the wind to see what the majority thinks; I represent women, whether they're popular or not.

It's not my fault if the media and the public are more interested in Tiger Woods than in women farm workers.

Women will no longer be silent when they suffer injustices against them.

There still is a war on women in terms of politicians in Washington and the state legislatures trying to eliminate any rights we have fought to win and that the Supreme Court has afforded us.

Because of my life experiences, I understand that I have an opportunity to help other women. I have the desire and the ability.

I have two grandchildren.

I could have had someone else take care of my child but I did it because that was my moral obligation and also it was a joy and I felt it was in the best interests of the child.

I was a single mother when my child was little.

I have known some wonderful men.

Eventually I figured out there was something systematic in the way women are treated.
