I've tried so hard to get my life back. And frankly, I don't think it is possible.

The terror was emotionally difficult because I was so afraid that I'd put my children through so much with this Clinton thing, I didn't want to now leave them without a mom.

I was never one to really think a whole lot about that. I thought I looked fine.

I wish I had done a better job. I wish I had had advisers.
