Let's teach our girls and boys how to show the same respect to their colleagues in the workplace they show their moms and sisters at home.
— Gretchen Carlson
I defend CNN! I defend all sorts of people when I think it's wrong.
A lot of people who have come up to me at restaurants - men - and have said, 'I want to shake your hand, because I have daughters'.
I've been truly blessed to have so many supporters and, of course, blessed to have my family and all my friends.
I'm a huge believer in visualizing achieving the task before it happens.
My vibrato was my weakness. With romantic pieces, I could be a lot more schmaltzy. My wider vibrato fit that.
I am saddened by the prevalence of powerful men disrespecting and objectifying women - and getting away with it for years.
I respond to every email. I sign every autograph for every person.
I'm setting up a fund to empower girls and women to speak up - on all issues, not just sexual harassment. For me, it's about inspiring women to come together.
I grew up thinking that I could be anything I wanted to be in this world because my mom told me that every single night.
Men need to hire more women and put them in higher positions of power within organizations.
I never expected to be the face of sexual harassment. But I never give up on anything. So when placed in a new, challenging situation, it's like, 'I'm going to give this 110% because that's what I've done my entire life.'
I am extremely proud of my accomplishments at 'Fox News' and for keeping our loyal viewers engaged and informed on events and news topics of the day.
I've always been an incredibly strong person, and I've also been underestimated.
A lot of things I've done in my life have taken incredible mental fortitude.
We need more women in higher roles, because the tone for sexual harassment would no doubt be different.
I've been for women's empowerment my entire life.
I think one of the things I've learned is that the tone of an organization is set from the top down. And if you have men running an organization that want to honor women, that's a whole different experience than if they don't.
Becoming Miss America was one of those things. It immediately changed what I thought I was going to do with the rest of my life.
My grandfather was the minister at the Lutheran church. My dad owned a car dealership in town. My mom was the consummate volunteer and cheerleader for me.
My parents raised me with a never-give-up attitude, telling me I could be anything I wanted to be. I was a serious violinist and a valedictorian of my high school class. I knew all about hard work.
It's so unbelievable that in 2017, almost every single woman has a story about sexual harassment.
I have strived to empower women and girls throughout my entire career.
I wish some days that I didn't have as much drive as I do. I'd sleep better.
Everyone knew how powerful Roger Ailes was. I certainly felt intimidated by that; the culture of 'Fox and Friends' was intimidating to me.
I am particularly distressed when people in the public eye who influence our culture perpetuate sexism.
Half of the equation is men, and right now, unfortunately, men are running the majority of corporations, so we have to make sure that if that is the case, that they are respectful and honor women for their true accomplishments.
Be brave and be fearless, and for God's sake, stand up for yourself.
I wanted to play the piano.
