I hear what people have said about what they want to see the Opera House used for and what they don't want to see it used for.

I want people to feel they are living in good urban environments with greenery and green space.

I'm always happy to listen, always happy to consider what the community wants. But there are also times when you make a decision, you stick by your guns because you know it's in the best interests of the community.

I've never made a conscious decision to choose work over other considerations.

I was born in Manly Hospital, I pretty much grew up in my grandmother's house until my parents bought their own home.

For me, being Australian is having the opportunity to be your best. This country, this state, gives us every opportunity we could hope for.

I've always been very determined to do things my own way and people can expect that from me.

We should return to Howard-era immigration levels in NSW.

I'm the daughter of proud immigrants myself, but it's clear that successive federal governments have allowed the rate of immigration to NSW to balloon out of control.

My government has been playing catch-ups building the schools, hospitals, roads and transport links our state needs to deal with our growing population after years of do-nothing Labor governments.

I've been in public life for long enough that I know you just have to live your life normally.

I'm incredibly proud that no matter where you live in New South Wales, whether in the regions or the city, you're seeing projects come to life and delivered that were only imagined, that were only spoken about by the previous government.

I would not support any scheme which suggested that people should be taxed for living in their own home.

I know what difference it makes to a community if a dirt road becomes a bitumen road.

Personally, I do know what it's like to battle, to struggle.

I'm really proud of a lot of the achievements we've made as a government but obviously I'll be putting my mark on the premiership and doing things that I think are important in terms of my own personal priority.

I encourage young people to feel passionately about important issues including climate change. But to suggest that they should strike during school hours is grossly irresponsible.

I want to encourage students during school hours to express their views, to discuss their views in the classroom or the playground.

I'm a fan of making sure our community grows and that we are always compassionate and remember our place in the world.

I will say this: in a state of emergency operations decisions are taken by the commissioner. It's not for politicians to interfere.

I will continue to - my team and I - will continue to work our guts out to make sure this state and its people continue to ensure that we have the best opportunities on this planet.

I'm here to govern for everybody and I hope that people judge me on my merits and what I can do.

I'm not going to judge anybody on their personal circumstances.

I've never been backwards in telling people what I think.

All of us from time to time look back and think we could've handled things differently or better.

If we could have a really good debate with the states and the federal government on tax reform I'd be up for that.

I've done things my own way every since I've entered public office.

I just feel I can deliver the best outcomes for the people of NSW.

I know how to fix a problem. I know how to get things done.

Everybody reacts to very difficult circumstances differently, we have to accept that.

Anyone who advocates pill testing is giving the green light to drugs. That is absolutely unacceptable.
