Sadly, as a seasoned prosecutor, I know what dark acts people are capable of.

We cannot turn away because a topic is unpleasant or vile. Why? Because one way to rid our society of evil is to confront it boldly.

I wish that young people, most of all, would learn to cut ties with those who make them feel bad about themselves or about the other people they love and care for.

If I was applying for a legal position, I would highlight my experience working for the San Francisco-L.A. DA's office, and I would mention some of the high-profile cases I did, but if I was looking for another television job, I would gloss over that, and I'd mention the highlight reel of what I did in television.

People can smell a fake.

I think it's very insulting to say, 'White people don't understand.' What are you talking about? You're part of the problem then if you're... speaking and labeling all white people, saying they don't understand the issue or saying they can't relate. That's really not giving people much credit, is it?

Defendants would groan whenever they saw me enter a courtroom because I had a reputation for coming armed with the facts and for winning cases.

Talking about the loss of my parents... that was really, really difficult to go through.

Nobody was like, 'Kimberly, we're going to let you anchor general news or host a show or do any of that.' I at first started out doing legal analysis, but I had to make the case to my bosses... give me a shot, give me a chance, and I was able to do that: say, 'Let me fill in. Let me show you my range. Nothing to lose here - it's the holidays.'

In that portion of time where my parents were together, I got to see great love, great loyalty, and teamwork.

I really saw my mom advocate on my behalf and really say, 'Hey, you're good enough.' It was from her that I learned that just because something hasn't been done before, it doesn't mean it can't be done now. You have to speak up, and you've got to assert yourself because it takes somebody to be the first one to make it happen.

The important thing is, you must give back. As good as you've been given, you must do for others as well. Somebody helped you. Who can you help, too?

What I think you need to do is be aware and be your own best advocate. Get on the Internet, do your research, and find a group that you might be able to get involved with.

The one message I always send to young people is, Don't be afraid to try different things to see what feels right and what's a good fit.

I really feel that I've carried on my mother's legacy.

My mother taught me early on not to be afraid to put myself out there - especially as a woman.

A friend is someone who has your back. Those in the military refer to it as, 'I got your six.' My closest friend on 'The Five' is Dana Perino.

Bob Beckel and Juan Williams are two people who I love personally. But what they say drives me absolutely nuts.

My point is you've been given a powerful blessing in life in this country to be able to vote and to be able to sit on the jury, so come equipped.

I just feel so blessed to have had the time that I had with my mother. She made it so impactful in terms of how she raised me and my little brother, the values that she instilled in us, the way she inspired us, and how she lived her everyday life.

Roger Ailes, he's incredible. He's the one that created 'The Five' and came up with the idea for it.

If it's something that you are opposed to or you don't want your children or family to see, then do not watch it, and the market can send a message.

Everyone loves to feast their eyes on Times Square on New Year's Eve.

I've been around all kinds of people, defense attorneys, working with cops, working with politicians, both sides of the aisle, including Democrats as former first lady of San Francisco, and the Republicans, too, so I've had a front row seat to lots of things in life.
