So we started with some of these peripheral things and felt like we were making headway. Safety I saw some of a couple bunches of little and big things came a little bit, you know, that was oddly a little bit of a push, but that was when I felt, okay, well, we're at least moving. It's a give and take and it's working and I felt somewhat optimistic. But then as we whittled away and got closer and closer to the core issues,”

  2. “You did sound positive at the start. Was that Well because we started with peripheral issues and I think that in hindsight that was by design on their part they kind of lumped together different things and they said can we deal with this chunk first to us it feels like they're all a little related to each other and Let's just start here. And it's like, okay, we're going to have to get through everything. And Duncan made a point of saying, you know. Explain who Duncan is.

  3. “Qualified. I'm just curious why they came to you. Well, you know, that's part of it. They actually went to Rose O'Donnell. At first, or maybe I don't know, maybe 10th. I have no idea how many people till I ended up with the opportunity. But when they asked Rosie if this would be something that she would be interested in, and clearly they were going after somebody that would elevate the union through by leveraging their celebrity, high profile, I should say. She said it's not for me, but I know who would be great at it. She's the smartest woman I know. And go talk to Fran Drescher. And that was when I got the call that, you know, changed everything.”

  4. “Well, in other fields, yes, I've, you know, I mean, I got a bill passed in Washington by unanimous consent. I was appointed public diplomacy envoy for the U.S. State Department.

No. But I did say that I think I might be more radical than the party that was recruiting me. Right.”

  6. “Well it wasn't something that I was chasing, but I do live by life unfolding, which I think is a healthier way to live than always trying to pursue something that's just out of your grasp. And so this was presented to me. And I gave it some long and hard consideration. I shouldn't say long because they really say we have to know in like three days. And I said, well, let me just think about it because I knew it was going to be a major commitment. But the more I thought about it the more I realized that it was an opportunity for me because All of my individual accomplishments throughout my career can be focused on this job and allow me to help this union and bring everything that I've worked so hard at into fruition in this one defining moment.”
