Monica Lewinsky
And I felt sorry, and I have felt bad about what happened.
Monica Lewinsky
I try to make very careful decisions about what I choose to do, and it's - I know that unfortunately one of the misperceptions about me, I think, is that I'm sort of a moth to the limelight.
Monica Lewinsky
So it was sort of an odd time because I had been hired, but my paperwork hadn't gone through. So I worked as an intern during the government shutdown, as an intern, but I already had a job.
Monica Lewinsky
My creativity comes from an unhoned place, if 'unhoned' is a word.
Monica Lewinsky
Getting and keeping my immunity became very important to me. For I needed to take care of myself and my family. No one else was worried about me.
