It’s not that I’m a ‘Let’s hug and be joyful all the time’ boss. Or that I don’t, quote, ‘own my own power.’ I just never want to be that big, swingin’, rule-by-fear person. – Megyn Kelly
I believe that I can do more for women by being the best at what I do in the role that I have than going out and just talking about how women are awesome and you shouldn’t mess with them. – Megyn Kelly
When people talk about fake news, you know, a lot of folks just roll their eyes, like ‘Oh, you know, whatever; people will figure it out.’ The truth is, they don’t always figure it out. – Megyn Kelly
Why can’t there be an acknowledgment that, in some instances, women remove themselves from the workforce for a long time, and when they come back, of course they’re not going to get exactly equal pay? – Megyn Kelly
I never felt that I had the natural intellectual gifts that the people who graduate first in their class from Harvard Law had. – Megyn Kelly
I’m not going to say how I vote… I love that people make these assumptions about you because you work at Fox… That’s my job: to be contrarian, to push people. – Megyn Kelly
My dad died of a heart attack when I was 15. I was bullied mercilessly in middle school. I went through a divorce – those not-so-great things are all a part of me, and they give me a place to go when I cover those stories on the news. I’m more empathetic, more relatable because of them. – Megyn Kelly

Just because you might have a sparring match on the air doesn’t mean there’s any personal animosity. – Megyn Kelly
As a lawyer, I could engage in killer litigation with the best of them. It was war, after all. – Megyn Kelly
I – listen, racism – being a racist is the worst thing you can say about somebody. I mean, it is such a charged accusation. And I really think people should be very careful before they level that. – Megyn Kelly
I was brought up in an environment to believe that my opinion was important, that I had something to say, and that it was no less powerful because I was young, a girl, at the time really unattractive, definitely not the smartest kid in the class. – Megyn Kelly

Being a trial lawyer sounds like glamorous work, but most of your time is spent pushing paper and arguing. – Megyn Kelly
I would be lying if I said it wasn’t cool to see myself on the cover of ‘Vanity Fair,’ right? It’s, like, what am I doing there? This is bizarre. – Megyn Kelly
I respect women like Gloria Steinem who paved the way. But when you say ‘feminist’ now, there is a message that if you are sexy and you acknowledge that part of your personality publicly, then it’s somehow an affront to women. And I reject that. – Megyn Kelly
I think my viewers want smart, honest programming. They don’t want to be told what makes them feel good. – Megyn Kelly
