What I'm guilty of is trying the hardest and giving 100 percent of myself and putting my heart and soul into representing the people of Staten Island and Brooklyn.

America stands for the land of opportunity.

I don't think it's good for economy to have a broken immigration system.

A lot of women in sport tend to take on a very masculine, aggressive look. They want to be perceived as being strong and powerful. I never lost that sense of wanting to retain my femininity.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.
