And I felt sorry, and I have felt bad about what happened.

And understandably so, that when you're in legal jeopardy, you really cannot put yourself in a position to open yourself up to the media.

At one point, I actually, ironically, thought I might go into criminology and work with the FBI.
Monica Lewinsky

But, clearly to me, what I've come to see is that that happened because I didn't have enough feelings of self-worth. So that I didn't feel that... I was worthy of being number one to a man.

He could have made it right with the book. But he hasn't. He is a revisionist of history. He has lied.
Monica Lewinsky

He ended it. He just said he didn't - he - well, what he said was that he didn't feel it was right, and you know, I mean that's - because he ended it, he'd probably have to be the one to answer that.

I know I will never have an affair with a married man again.
Monica Lewinsky

I voted Republican this year; the Democrats left a bad taste in my mouth.
Monica Lewinsky

I was enamored with him. And I was excited. And I was enjoying it.
Monica Lewinsky

Monica Lewinsky

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't angry some days. But I really have worked hard to put a lot of the anger and disappointment in the past.
Monica Lewinsky

I'm an incredibly lucky girl. For someone who has made some very foolish mistakes and had some tough lessons to learn very quickly, I am still incredibly lucky.
Monica Lewinsky
