"I was Donald’s closest friend for 10 years."

"I realize what I am. I’m very comfortable in my own skin. I’m not a helicopter pilot. What I’m really free to do is I feel free to follow my own personality. As we discussed yesterday, I can’t be totally wacko in what I do. It affects lots of other people who will get angry with what I do because then it affects me again.

"I just want you to know I’m not a pedophile. … Maybe the only thing worse than being called a pedophile is being called a hedge fund manager."

"Trump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever.. [O]f course he knew about the girls as he asked [G]hislaine to stop."

He was amazing."
