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.
Monica Lewinsky
People who know Clinton knew the guy has a real problem keeping his hands off women.
Monica Lewinsky
I chose to not wear a wire and tape people. I chose to not get immunity until - were accepted, whatever - until the independent counsel's office was comfortable with what I said was the truth.
Monica Lewinsky
Overnight, I went from being a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one. I was Patient Zero.
Monica Lewinsky
It’s time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress.
Monica Lewinsky
Feeling alone and unseen can intensify the experience of being harassed, shamed, or bullied.
Monica Lewinsky
I'm kind of known for something that's not so great to be known for.
Monica Lewinsky
