"I have a lot that I want to contribute, and I'm not going to let this define me."

"I'm going to keep fighting for the middle class, for working families, for people who are struggling to make ends meet."

"I accept responsibility for all of these mistakes."

"I regret what I did."

"I will tell you that I'm not perfect, and I've made mistakes. But I'm also a human being, and I'm trying to do my best."
