Monica Lewinsky

“I've been told by the prosecutors and by my own attorneys I should go to law school. I guess I have a knack for it.”

“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.”

“I don't have the feelings of self-worth that a woman should have... and that's been the center of a lot of my mistakes and a lot of my pain.”

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

“I mean, I felt terrible. And in the beginning, I mean, I was completely devastated. I mean, can you imagine the kind of guilt that you would feel, and the responsibility?”

“I'm kind of known for something that's not so great to be known for.”

“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.”

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

“I think anybody who really knows me knows I'm not a media hound and knows that I'm really sort of trying to do the best I can with the situation that I found myself in.”

“I know I will never have an affair with a married man again.”

“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.”

“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 have spent the past several years working so hard to just move on, and to try and build a life for myself.”

“Well, it was actually - I brought the idea of doing a documentary to HBO back in 2000, when there were some press reports sort of were bandied about that there were going to TV movies based on some of the books that were out.”

“I did though at least expect him to correct the false statements he made when he was trying to protect the Presidency. Instead, he talked about it as though I had laid it all out there for the taking. I was the buffet and he just couldn't resist the dessert.”

“I was worried about my mom more than I was worried about the president. And then I was worried about the president, and then I was worried about myself.”

“It was that chemistry. And was the fact that he was president part of that chemistry? I don't know. Maybe. Probably. But it was - I was there because there was chemistry. I wasn't there because, oh, this is the president.”

“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.”

“It was a mutual relationship.”

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